Weinstein co. 是Miramax的創始人與前大老闆Weinstein兄弟現在
跳出來另外開的公司，他們買下了[Miss Potter]北美地區的發行權
這對兄弟曾經最擅長的就是奧斯卡造勢，曾經把葛妮斯小姐拱上后座
雖然最近他們的功力好像被某[獅子門]公司比下去了就是.....XD
hmmm.....不曉得台灣會是哪家公司代理.....

By Borys Kit
The Weinstein Co. has acquired North American rights to "Miss Potter" from
Phoenix Pictures and David Kirschner Prods. The Beatrix Potter biopic, which
is in production in the U.K., stars Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor and Emily
Watson and is being directed by Chris Noonan.
Kirschner Prods.' David Kirschner and Corey Sienega produce alongside Mike
Medavoy, Arnie Messer and David Thwaites of Phoenix Pictures. Zellweger will
serve as executive producer.
Summit Entertainment is handling international sales and distribution. The
project was brought to the Weinstein Co. by Michelle Krumm, executive vp
acquisitions and co-productions at TWC.
Written by Richard Maltby Jr., "Miss Potter" explores the life of Potter
(Zellweger) as she becomes the author of the beloved and best-selling
children's book "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" and struggles to overcome a
domineering, unsupportive mother and the chauvinism of Victorian England to
become a published author.
"Phoenix and Kirschner Prods. have brought together a fantastic collection of
talent that we think makes 'Miss Potter' distinctive, emotional and highly
interesting" Harvey Weinstein said. "We are thrilled to be a part of it."
Medavoy said he was happy to partner with the Weinstein Co. on the
production. "Harvey's respect for talent and love of movies is legendary, and
we know we've found a good home for the project."
Kirschner said the movie has been a passion project for the company, and "we
couldn't dream of better partners than the Weinsteins to bring this wonderful
story to North American audiences."
Kirschner Prods. produced the recent "Curious George" with Imagine
Entertainment and has New Line's "Martian Child" on deck for this year.
Phoenix has three films awaiting release this year: Marcus Nispel's
"Pathfinder" for Fox, David Fincher's "Zodiac" for Paramount and Warner Bros.
Pictures and Steve Zaillian's "All the King's Men" for Columbia.
