The Weinstein Company goes HD DVD

You’ll recall that Bob and Harvey Weinstein parted company with Miramax. They founded a new studio called The Weinstein Company. Now come reports that their new production company has declared for HD DVD. At Miramax, the Weinstein’s managed to produce some very fine films and they captured a disproportionate number of Academy Awards, so this is a significant development for the HD DVD camp.

In case you don’t know what the Weinstein’s have up their sleeves, here are some of the titles you may expect:

Awake (Jessica Alba, Hayden Christensen)
Breaking And Entering (Jude Law, Juliette Binoche, Robin Wright Penn)
Decameron (Hayden Christensen, Mischa Barton)
Derailed (Jennifer Aniston, Clive Owen)
Grind House (A Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez Vehicle)
Hoodwinked (CGI Animation, Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Anne Hathaway)
Killshot (Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke, Thomas Jane, Rosario Dawson, Johnny Knoxville)
Last Legion (Colin Firth, Ben Kingsley)
Lucky Number Slevin (Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley)
Mrs. Henderson Presents (Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins)
Passion Of The Clerks (Kevin Smith’s next effort)
Pulse (Kristen Bell, Christina Milian, Ian Somerhalder)
Scary Movie 4
School For Scoundrels (Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Heder)
Sin City 2
The Libertine (Johnny Depp, Samantha Morton)
The Matador (Pierce Brosnan)
Transamerica (Felicity Huffman)
Wolf Creek (Horror Film From Australia)
Young Hannibal (A Hannibal Lecter prequel)

Not too shabby. The format war just got hotter.

IMO this is small potatoes. Still when you're struggling to survive, every bit helps.
