The Weinstein Company hasn't even been in existance a year yet, but Bob and Harvey's new Indie distributor is already rolling out a small scale blockbuster lineup. Partnered up with Dimension and MGM, they probably won't have many $100 million movies, but then with the low budget productions they're pushing they don't have to.
For Weinstein it's a summer of Kevin Smith, and the fanboy favorite returns to the world that made him famous with a sequel to Clerks. Around that they'll release a few horror movies and videogame to movie translations. Thank god for Kevin.
