Information About

The Weinstein Company

The Weinstein Company is an independent American Film Studio founded by Harvey and Bob Weinstein in 2005 after the pair left the Disney -owned Miramax Films , which they had co-founded in 1979 . The Dimension Films label of Miramax followed the brothers to their new company. Advisors to the new studio include Paul Newman of the Disney-owned Pixar studio and Robert Redford .

Directors Anthony Minghella , Kevin Smith , Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino are said to be working on films for the fledgling company.

Their first releases in 2005 included the dramatic thriller '' Derailed '' (starring Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen ), the offbeat comedy-drama '' Transamerica '' (starring Felicity Huffman ) the Computer-animated Family Film '' Hoodwinked '', and the caper comedy '' The Matador '' (starring Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear ).

The Weinstein Company in March 2006 recently announced a distribution pact with the Sony-owned Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. MGM will distribute the product domestically, while the Weinstein Company will retain long-term ownership of their product.
