Weinsteins Drop Seven Figures on TIFF's Dirty Girl
The second big deal of the Toronto Film Festival occurred today when the Weinstein Company acquired the road-trip flick Dirty Girl for a reported $3 million. Uh, wow. Abe Sylvia directed the '80s-set film, starring Juno Temple as the title character who flees her high school (and possibly her bad reputation) with a gay classmate. Dwight Yoakam, Milla Jovovich and Willam H. Macy co-star; the purchase includes a theatrical-release guarantee, so save the shelf jokes for at least another six months if you don't mind. [Deadline]

I know for a fact that the Weinstein Co. is not going to let this movie sit on a shelf gathering dust.
It's going to boost a short leg on the table in the conference room.
I think Harvey can find a loophole.
I still can't get enough of Nsync and BSB after all this time!!!
About time a small budget movie get some buzz and attention. Let's hope it breaks box office records aswell!
