Actually they relinquished control of Miramax and Dimension some years ago. They have continued to produce good movies now that they are free. I suppose that Disney did take a hands off approach. With these subsidiaries and Hollywood Pictures, Disney has been able to produce R-rated films and still maintain it's family friendly image.Liam wrote:In all fairness, Di$ney's like a kraken that catches everything it can with its tentacles, but leaves its prey some room to breath. Acquisitions include Miramax and Touchstone Pictures, makers of The Crow, Trainspotting, From Dusk Till Dawn, Hellraiser: Bloodline, Kill Bill, The Color of Money, Dead Poets Society, Enemy of the State, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Prestige.
So even if you get gobbled up, sometimes the Big D leaves you enough creative leeway to create good stuff.
I don't have much faith for this particular project, however...
Since it is Halloween, I am going to try and cram more horror films into a single night than I usually do. I am going to start with the Canadian horror film "Superstition".
Happy Halloween
