Key Players in the 2011 Cannes Market: The Weinstein Company

If I hadn’t of missed out on the slate unveiling during the festival, I would have been extremely curious about what the Weinstein Co. had to show for for Jim Field Smith’s Butter. With the distribution rights pick-up of The Iron Lady and The Artist, the Weinsteins are now more focused then ever in sticking to what they know best. The distribution and Prod co. had several items that have already been released and are selling, but in the titles that are getting ready for the fall, we look forward the most to Simon Curtis’ My Week with Marilyn starring Emma Watson (see above) and Michelle Williams (aka Harvey’s new Paltrow) as Monroe.
