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 ]

Belated congratulations to Harvey Weinstein and Georgina Chapman, the power couple who also, as of Sunday, became Hollywood’s latest set of power parents. The film and fashion moguls had a baby girl named India Pearl — Harvey’s fourth and Chapman’s first. This calls for a celebration!

A week after Adam Yauch went to war ( unsuccessfully ) with the MPAA ratings board over A Film Unfinished ‘s “bullsh*t” R-rating, Harvey Weinstein is appealing (and, of course, publicizing) the same injustice against his Pat Tillman cover-up exposé The Tillman Story .

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!

There is a parallel universe where confetti and balloons and marching bands will arrive out of nowhere to celebrate the millionth filmmaker to rip on Harvey Weinstein. Here, however, all I can really do is offer a solo womp-womp fanfare and a couple sympathy pats to Cory Edwards, the writer/director who is ticked off that the Weinstein Company would go behind his back to solicit a rewrite of Fraggle Rock. How do we know? He blogged about it.

A foreign trailer for the Weinstein Company’s longest-delayed film, Shanghai , surfaced recently after two years of mythmaking, rumor-mongering and general Web undermining. On the one hand, that’s what happens for better or worse when Harvey Weinstein (or anyone, really — but especially Harvey) drops a movie on his shelf. On the other, while I can’t speak to the full-length feature, why is this even on a shelf in the first place?

Happy April 16, dear reader! Time to join Movieline on another breezy expedition through the historical arcana and milestones that helped shaped the pop culture you know and love today. Honestly, April 16 is not quite the rich trove of happenings that you’re used to, but we shall make a go of it thanks to a few strategically-born men.
By now you’ve heard the feel good story of the week — hey, it was a slow week — that Harvey and Bob Weinstein are thisclose to buying back their beloved Miramax from Disney for the not-so-cheap price of $600 million. Disney has denied this , but were the sale to go through it would bring up at least one question: How the hell do the Weinstein Brothers — the same Weinstein Brothers who barely had enough money to release Youth in Revolt into theaters — plan to pay back their fellow investors (lead by billionaire financier Ron Burkle), who presumably footed a lot of this bill? One word: Remakes! Here now are the five films from the Miramax library that the Weinsteins should seriously consider revisiting.
