Miramax titles find distribution (FINALLY!)

[cinemaphile]

Perhaps they can now get to work on Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, The Crow, Shakespeare in Love.... all the titles we've been waiting for!!

From The Digital Bits:

"it's now official: Miramax (as owned by Filmyard Holdings) has partnered with The Weinstein Company for new content creation and also distribution of its catalog of more than 700 films on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download. Hopefully that means a whole range of eagerly-awaited and long-neglected films will finally see the light of day on Blu-ray. From the piece at Home Media: "Part of the agreement has Miramax and Weinstein creating new material for Blu-ray releases of Miramax films, including roundtables featuring cast and directors." Well, it's about damn time! Here's a suggestion, guys: How's about starting with Pulp Fiction, The English Patient, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Trainspotting and The Crow? As part of the deal, the two companies are also planning on working together to produce sequels to many of the key titles in the Miramax catalog. No doubt we'll hear more in the coming weeks."

...can't say I'm happy about the "sequel" talk (they mention Clerks, Swingers, Copland, and Shall We Dance, among others), but at least we'll finally get our Blu's!
