New York Times On Miramax, Kevin’s Status…

  • One of the best articles we’ve seen on the Disney/Miramax split appears in the New York Times
    today, which confirms that Bob and Harvey will go out with a bang, releasing as many as 22 films before they part ways with Disney later this year (September).
    Some passages of interest from the article follow:
“When they leave Disney in September, the Weinstein brothers are expected to start a new film distribution and production company, which as yet has no name or staff. “

“The arrangement has allowed for an amicable divorce instead of the open warfare that threatened only months ago. But it leaves the brothers, their current employees, and a host of filmmakers and their representatives in the awkward position of making movies for a company that does not exist yet – and may not be in full swing for another year or more.”

“We’re going to wherever they go,” said Kevin Smith, the director of “Clerks,” who said his sequel, “The Passion of the Clerks,” was scheduled to begin shooting in April but would probably wait until May because of the uncertainty. “My allegiance is to Harvey and Bob.”

Kevin was actually the only director who lended a quote to the article. Highly recommended reading for you
as this is certainly a big part of the future of View Askew.
