		The Weinsteins remain in ongoing discussions with executives at their corporate parent, that bought Miramax in 1993, and the brothers are still under contract to run company, however it is understood that Disney wants to make some changes before the end of 2005.

		Now that Harvey Weinstein has left Miramax, the distribution company he founded in 1979 and sold to Disney in 1993, he has truly grandiose plans for his new vehicle, the Weinstein Company.
		One Disney executive explained that even though Disney had 100 or so people watching Miramax, they were stymied by Weinstein's mercurial and evasive actions.
		This reversal of fortune proceeds from a loophole in the original deal that Jeffrey Katzenberg, then Disney's studio head, negotiated with Weinstein in 1993.

	Bob Weinstein
		In the years that followed, the Weinsteins' fearless approach to acquiring controversial titles, combined with an acute understanding of the mechanics of the entertainment industry, found both their influence and selection of titles expanding at an unprecedented rate.
		Serving as the perfect yin to his brother's yang, the harmonious balance of the Weinstein dynamic has helped to weather everything from the occasional controversy surrounding their films to frequent accusations of intimidation and questionable business tactics.
		Unlike his more public-minded sibling, however, brother Bob has quietly minded the books of the enduring studio as the manager of Miramax's expenditures and revenue -- successfully building the company into one of the industry's largest and most powerful independent distributors.

	Politics: Agent Provocateur - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com
		Disney's Miramax division, headed by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, bankrolled the film, but Disney head Michael Eisner refused to release it, citing Disney's tradition as a "nonpartisan company"—you know, the sort of nonpartisan company whose ABC Radio division gives a forum to Rush Limbaugh.
		If, as some observers believe, Eisner's real motivation was to stick it to his archrival Harvey Weinstein, it backfired.
		Moore's camp points to Disney's need to do business in Jeb Bush's state—and since the film is nearly as harsh about Saudi royals as about Jeb's brother, isn't it suspicious that money from one of them, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, is keeping the financially troubled Euro Disney afloat?

		The experience of The Weinstein Company, which bought the rights the the movie based on its Cannes trailer only to decide the finished product wasn't strong enough for a wide release, has apparently given American companies cold feet about the Chinese industry in general.
		Columbia believes that, since their agreement was reached first, it invalidates the subsequent contract signed by Wang and Weinstein reps. The plot thickens, however, because (according to lawyers for the Weinsteins) Lee's heirs deny any knowledge of the Columbia agreement.
		The Weinstein Co. is trying another tack to get you to watch movies -- by giving you an extended teaser: they're showing free samples of select films online at video-sharing sites like YouTube.
