Can Miramax Bounce Back? Inside the Post-Weinstein Makeover That Includes Reboots, Remakes and Sydney Sweeney
After Harvey Weinstein's exit, Miramax head Jonathan Glickman is rebuilding the banner by reviving franchises like 'Scary Movie' and making original films.
“I’ve always considered myself a cinephile, but he definitely gave me a run for my money,” adds Millar, who fondly recalls editing Glickman’s stop-motion student film about a young man in dire financial straits whose credit cards spring to life. In the 1990s and early aughts, Miramax brought an art-house edge to mainstream cinema, releasing critically acclaimed hits like “Pulp Fiction,” “Shakespeare in Love” and “Good Will Hunting.” Many of those films would struggle to get made today; they’re too unconventional, too brainy, too reliant on heart and humanity at a time when Hollywood is obsessed with movies about superheroes. To that end, Miramax is developing shows or limited series based on “Gangs of New York,” “Chocolat” and “The English Patient,” all movies that were commercially and critically successful when they premiered more than 20 years ago.
