In this morning’s roundup of movie news ‘n’ notes from around the web, Miramax entertains suitors, “Love Ranch” sees daylight, and the Producers Guild creates a new job.
Ann Thompson offers her take on the three offers for Miramax. She’s hoping that Disney goes for the one from Ron Burkle’s Yucaipa, which would bring Harvey and Bob Weinstein back to the company they founded. “Anyone else,” she says, “will basically pillage and plunder the properties.” To her way of thinking, it’d be "absurd" to accept what has been reported to be the surprise third bid, from troubled financier David Bergstein’s Pangea Media.
