Weinsteins ready to cash in on HD DVD
Filed under: Deals, Tech Stuff, The Weinstein Co., Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Weinstein Brothers, Kevin Smith
Harvey and Bob Weinstein have reached an agreement with Toshiba
that their spandy-new company, The Weinstein Company, will support the HD
DVD format. The boys based their decision on a number of factors, most notably that they think they can make more
money by supporting the format. In a mutual statement, the brothers said, "We are impressed by Toshiba's
technology and very much look forward to working with them."
The Weinstein Company will have a slew of films coming out on DVD, including Kevin Smith's new film The Passion of the Clerks, School for Scoundrels, with Billy Bob Thornton, and Grind House, which will unite one of my fave directors, Quentin Tarantino (who, hopefully, will not be acting in the film) with one of my least fave directors, Robert Rodriguez (yeah, I know Sin City rocked, but I still haven't forgiven him for the 90 minutes of my life I wasted screening The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D).

Huh. That's funny. I use the word "redundant" in a comment and the comment itself somehow gets duplicated. Not intentional, I swear.
