Back in September, just as the film was screening to very positive word at the Toronto Film Festival, The Weinstein Company moved Youth in Revolt back to January 15. That wasn't a huge surprise. Though audiences seem to really like Miguel Arteta's adaptation of C.D. Payne's novel, thanks in part to what some call a career-expanding performance by Michael Cera, TWC already has their awards season movies...
Lifetime And The Weinstein Company's Hit Series Returns To The Bright Lights Of New York For Season Seven On Thursday, January 14, With Host Heidi Klum, Mentor Tim Gunn And Judges Michael Kors And Nina Garcia
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- The vibrant and provocative musical production NINE, premiered on Broadway in 1982 to critical acclaim (winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical), and successfully revived in 2003 (winning another two Tonys, including Best Revival), is the most hotly anticipated movie of the holiday season, directed by Rob Marshall, and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz,...
The Drip, Drip, Drip The main variation in the 2009/10 Oscar season that keeps getting discussed is the change to 10 nominees. And it's not insignificant. But as the Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times." As the Academy made this change, the economy of the film business started to bottom out. (Sadly, I don't think we've quite reached bottom yet, though many businesses have...
Much has already been discussed about how The Weinstein Company appears to be hiding the fact that Tom Ford's A Single Man , which the studio picked up for seven-figures at Toronto, is about a single gay man. From its poster , which features Colin Firth laying next to Julianne Moore, to its trailer, the studio has de-gayed the movie as much as it possibly can (with the Weinsteins history of chopping...
The journey to get The Road on the big screen has been fraught with nearly as much peril as the plot of the book. As you'll likely recall, it's been nearly a year since the film was originally scheduled to be released , but now that the it's due in theaters nationwide next week, Weinstein Company co-founder Bob Weinstein is in good spirits. We caught up with him last night at the New York premiere...
The Weinstein Company has released another trailer for Rob Marshall’s musical “Nine” and this time we get to see, or at least hear, an entire musical number. The movie is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis [...]
The Weinsteins have announced a deal with their old friends at Disney to cross-promote next month's Oscar-contending Nine by writing the movie into upcoming episodes of All My Children , One Life to Live , and General Hospital . Additionally, Nine 's "Be Italian" will soundtrack a dance number on next Tuesday's Dancing With the Stars , with contestants wearing outfits from the movie (Donny...
This is an interesting development. The Weinsteins famously broke off from Disney several years ago when they left Miramax to found The Weinstein Company. But their new outfit has been struggling financially, and they've turned back to Disney (via ABC) to cross-promote the Rob Marshall musical Nine. But this isn't just some run of the mill deal where Disney coughs up some cash and takes some profit....
The poster for designer Tom Ford's directorial debut, A Single Man , features Colin Firth and Julianne Moore lying in bed together . As such, it had already raised questions of whether the Weinstein Company was trying to downplay the fact that Firth's character is gay. The new cut of the trailer does about as much to confirm this thesis as one could imagine. As Vulture points out , it's nearly identical...
We learned in October that Nine was getting pushed back to a Christmas premiere. Since The Road was already slated for release on the same date, it sounded like this was nothing more than a move to make the film's box office grab as smooth as possible. But maybe it was to plan the massive marketing push. Variety reports that the Weinstein Company have partnered with Disney/ABC Unlimited to market...

Firstly I would like to start with an editorial before talking about the film. Here’s an editorial photographed by Mr Tom Ford for Out magazine, with Skins actor Nicholas Hoult. Is it me or is Tom Ford creating a clone? Editorial in the lead up to: Here are the two trailers of the film. One is the original trailer with homoerotic scenes and the other is the heterosexualised version by the Weinstein...
Fashion designer and blatant homosexual Tom Ford is making his directorial debut this year with his highly anticipated first film A Single Man . This movie is definitely on my Oscar buzz list. Every year I make it my mission to try to see all of the new films nominated for an Oscar and A Single Man looks like it's going to one of them. Sometimes I go to the movies on the middle of a Sunday. It used...
Oftentimes I’ll put up a heading that makes you wonder what the article is truly about. Not today. Today is a day for blatant statements. Colin Firth is the star of an upcoming film titled The Single Man. This is Tom Ford’s — yes, designer Tom Ford — directorial debut and he’s responsible for Trailer #1. [...]
In Tom Ford's directorial debut, A Single Man , Colin Firth stars as a closeted college professor grieving the death of his male lover. So last week, when the Weinstein Company released the film's official poster (which shows Firth in bed with co-star Julianne Moore , who plays a friend in love with his character), some wondered if they might be trying to play down the film's gay themes in its marketing....
