By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) It is sadly ironic that, just as this year’s Sundance Film Festival comes to a close, Disney plans to close the doors on former Sundance mainstay Miramax for good. New York and LA offices will close today. Eighty staff members will lose their jobs, and the last six Miramax films could well go i...

Vincent D’Onofrio to Play Harvey Weinstein in Adaptation of Peter Biskind Book?
Original at /FILM
• Wed, Dec 16
By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) Now the book is, improbably, becoming the basis for a film called Down and Dirty, for which Vincent D’onofrio has been tapped to star as Miramax co-founder Harvey Weinstein. What I’d give to hear any phone call between the mogul and actor discussing this project.
