Today saw the death of Harvey and Bob Weinstein’s Miramax Films, owned by Walt Disney. It’s been a slow process with Disney saying they were downsizing a while back. Now 80 people will lose their jobs and 6 films that were waiting for release will be shelved. That is unless they get a tepid release.
Harvey Weinstein told TheWrap how he is feeling:
“I’m feeling very nostalgic right now. I know the movies made on my and my brother Bob’s watch will live on as well as the fantastic films made under the direction of Daniel Battsek. Miramax has some brilliant people working within the organization and I know they will go on to do great things in the industry.”
Miramax is known for a number of films including My Left Foot, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Chicago and many more.
