All the hub bub lately has been about Miramax collapsing or pulling way from Disney or the Weinsteins leaving or some shit. I don't even know the whole deal, but what I do know is that Miramax used to be a major player in the world of Indie Cinema but of late has become more of a major studio powerhouse...so what's the big deal if they do disappear or dissolve or whatever?
Over at Fox Searchlight they have been putting out quality indies for some time now and are in my opinion ripe to take over the throne as the new king of the Indie. Take a look at their roster below from the last 10 years...what's most impressive to me is that 3 of my TOP 10 in 2005 were released by Fox Searchlight. Sideways, Napolean Dynamite and Garden State were not only championed by FS, but they were all extremely sucessful movies that didn't have a chance according to the other studios that passed on each of them. Rock on Fox! Robert Murdoch is a manical, right wing nut job that controls the most shameless network in TV land, but the guy is putting the money into developing young talents even if he is oblivious to this fact.
