- In the April 8, 2002 issue of Time Magazine, there’s an article on Miramax: “Has Harvey Lost His Way? How a wandering mogul took MIRAMAX off course and plans to get it back on track.” Kevin is quoted:
“Miramax is like the overnight sensation that for a little while bought into their press and moved away from the things that helped define them,” says Kevin Smith, whose career as a cult filmmaker began after Miramax released his $27,000 indie Clerks in 1994. “They overextended and overreached, and now it seems like they’re reining it all back in… This is the company that made Pulp Fiction, that put out The Piano and The Crying Game–why on earth would they make something like Kate & Leopold or She’s All That?”
