Unauthorized Harvey Weinstein Doc Lands Distribution
Rejoice! Unauthorized: The Harvey Weinstein Project -- a documentary about exactly what it sounds like -- has found a theatrical taker in IFC Films. It's the distributor's third deal of the week after TIFF acquisitions Super and Cave of Forgotten Dreams. According to a press release just over the Movieline transom, director Barry Avrich's film is "a powerful, uncensored, no-holds-barred account that traces Weinstein's path from concert promoter on the cold streets of Buffalo to his first trip to the Cannes Film Festival, where he arrived with one pair of pants and closed his first movie deal, to winning an Oscar, and breaking the bank with his first $100 million film." Swoon. [IFC Films]

Harvey missed his chance to bury this film forever when he didn't buy it himself and make a big "release commitment."
Oh, god, Avrich. So you *know* it's going to be...well, you know.
