End clap for the production company founded in 2005 by brothers Robert and Harvey Weinstein. Following the criminal acts of its co-founder, the company filed for bankruptcy on Monday, March 19.
The final blow is dealt to the family production company sued by the prosecutor of the State of New York, Eric Schneiderman, since February 11. The Weinstein Company succeeded Miramax in 2005. Together, the brothers produced all Tarantinos from DeathProof to The Hateful Eight, Happiness Therapy, The King's Speech, The Imitation Game… During their long careers, the New York-born duo produced dozens of films that ignited the U.S. and global box office. They carried and saw the new talents of the 90s grow. Under their control, actresses and actors have seen their careers explode in films defended tooth and nail by these film enthusiasts. It would be unfair not to acknowledge that. But now, Harvey Scissorhands does not know how to keep his hands in his pockets. And he has his own opinion about the female sex…
The bankruptcy of the company is accompanied by the lifting of certain confidentiality clauses that each employee had to sign upon arrival. We know that some collaborators played a pre-written role in certain meetings to facilitate the hunt for the ogre Weinstein. Thus, it would not be surprising to see emerge in the coming days new complaints that would be added to the hundred accusations against Harvey Weinstein for non-consensual touching and rape.
The duo separates leaving us one last baby: the remake of The Untouchable with Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart and Nicole Kidman. It will be said that the Weinsteins have a sense of humor!
