So Where’s the Buzz About Sam Worthington and Keira Knightley’s TIFF Drama Last Night?

Posted on September 17, 2010 by | Leave a comment

According an official count just released by the Toronto International Film Festival, this year’s event spawned nearly two dozen U.S. distribution deals for selections including Super , Rabbit Hole , Cave of Forgotten Dreams , The Conspirator and Beautiful Boy — with more to come in the days and weeks ahead. But one high-profile title in particular — currently idling on Miramax’s shelf — has yielded exactly no industry buzz and a surprising dearth of discussion since its first screening nearly a week ago.

Weekend Forecast: Can Machete Out-Hack Drew Barrymore at the Box Office?

Posted on September 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

O, Labor Day, you lazy long weekend, you musty farewell. And seriously, summer: Good riddance. The holiday frame offers up a storm-shattering tandem of films well worth your time, money and consideration after a gruesome August, as well as one stinker to help balance out the cosmos. (Or something. I don’t know why it exists, to be honest.) Grab a lawn chair, pop open a beer, and meet me after the jump to talk it over.

Oscar Season Defined in 80 Words

Posted on September 2, 2010 by | Leave a comment

” Word is [Natalie Portman]’s giving a pretty swell performance Still, if it is a swell performance and it doesn’t win her the Oscar for which she is now the alleged favorite, we’ll look back on this day and think, ‘How sad–it looked as if she had a shot,’ and hope she can pick herself up and get it together to give another Oscar-worthy performance because this one will have gone down as a disappointment and she will be a loooooooooser .” Please blog more, David Edelstein !

Miramax Not Actually Purchased Just Yet

Posted on September 2, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Uh-oh. According to Variety , Disney’s hopeful — and thought to be written in ink — sale of Miramax has hit a major pothole. Apparently Morgan Creek founder James Robinson and philanthropist Jerome Swartz have back out of their “financial agreements,” leaving the deal short of capital. Disney has yet to comment, possibly because they’re too busy trying to get the Weinsteins back on the phone. [ Variety ]

Report: Miramax Sold to Group Not Including Rob Lowe

Posted on July 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Guess what has two thumbs and doesn’t have to watch Rob Lowe “Proud Mary” Oscar Hell 100 times consecutively? This guy. That’s because Disney has reportedly agreed to terms to sell Miramax Films and its library to a team led by billionaire construction mogul Ronald Tutor. This would finally stall out the rumor mill that’s worked overtime since Disney put the mini-major on the block, flirting with everyone from Harvey Weinstein to (allegedly) Rob Lowe. And you can’t beat the price!

Weinsteins Won’t Reclaim Miramax

Posted on May 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Harvey and Bob Weinstein have been working steadily over the last few months to regain their old haunt Miramax from Disney, but the LAT says the deal has fallen apart. Among the sticking points: the Weinsteins’ final bid, $625 million, wasn’t quite as high as Disney wanted. Ugh, now the brothers will have to use that money to actually release the films they have on the shelf. They hate having to do that! [ LAT ]

Movieline Handicapping: Who Should Buy the Joaquin Phoenix Documentary?

Posted on May 11, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Among the hundreds of titles available to distributors at this year’s Cannes Film Festival marketplace, only one wields the cachet of being a verite glimpse at an American actor’s performance-art public meltdown. But despite everything promised by the Casey Affleck-directed mock-doc I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix , prospective buyers remain hesitant to gamble on the project. That doesn’t mean it won’t sell, though. After the jump, let’s have a look at five adventurous-enough distributors who might be in the running for Phoenix’s pholly.
