The first batch of films to be released by The Weinstein Co

**Sean P Kelly** · 05-26-2005, 08:09 PM

The Weinstein brothers leaving Miramax is one of the biggest news items of the year.

If I am correct, the split went like this:
- Disney keeps Miramax films
- The Weinstein's keep Dimension Films and get to create their own company.

Well here are the film The Weinstein Co have planned (which was posted on AICN):
- "Derailed," thriller by Mikael Hafstrom starring Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston on October 21st

-- "Wolf Creek," the Australian horror film directed by Greg McLean, which the Weinsteins acquired at the Sundance Film Festival, will open Nov. 18 under the Dimension label.

-- "Matador," a black comedy about a hitman, co-financed by Disney, starring Pierce Brosnan and directed by Richard Shepard, will open as an exclusive release Nov. 18.

-- "Transamerica," a film by Duncan Tucker for which Felicity Huffman won the best actress award at the Tribeca Film Festival for playing a transsexual, will open an exclusive release Dec. 2.

-- Chen Kaige's epic "The Promise," a partnership between IDG New Media Fund and the Weinstein Co., will open exclusively Dec. 16.

-- "Mrs. Henderson Presents," another Disney co-financed project, directed by Stephen Fears and starring Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins, will open exclusively Dec. 25.

-- "The Gathering," a thriller from Brian Gilbert starring Christina Ricci, is set for release Jan. 6.

-- "Feast," director John Gulager's horror film, which was the subject of Bravo's "Project Greenlight 3," will open Jan. 20.

-- "Breaking & Entering," the new Anthony Minghella project starring Jude Law, a co-production with Disney, which has just begun filming, is scheduled for a February release.

-- "Pulse," a remake of the Japanese horror film "Kairo," will be released by Dimension on March 3.

-- "Killshot," directed by John Madden, adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel by Hossein Amini and executive produced by Tarantino, will open March 17.

-- "Scary Movie 4," a Disney co-production reuniting director David Zucker and his creative team from "Scary Movie 3," will open wide from Dimension on April 14 for Easter weekend.

-- "Sin City 2," a sequel to the Rodriguez/Frank Miller film, another Disney co-production, will be released by Dimension in summer 2006.

Even though it's not on this list, there is also a horror films by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez in the works called "Grind House"

Cool, now someday I can work with those guys without having to sign my soul over to Disney.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
