Roses Are Red, Harvey is Blue

Sold! Blue Valentine, the intimate portrait of a disintegrating marriage starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams (and despised by some around Movieline Sundance HQ) has been snatched up by marshmallow-at-heart Harvey Weinstein for The Weinstein Co. The deal was closed after all-night negotiation that squeezed IFC Films and Sony Pictures Classics, both also interested, out of the running. Rumor has it TWC is also hungry for The Tillman Story, a deal which Deadline says will close today. [THR]
