Harvey Weinstein Blogs! (Now Stop Seeing Those Superhero Movies)

Harvey Weinstein Blogs! (Now Stop Seeing Those Superhero Movies)

There have been a number of recent articles accusing me of not focusing on films like I did when I was running Miramax. It's simply not the case.

During a summer of hyped-comic-book heroes turned screen stars, independent film as a whole hasn't received the attention it's due. Yesterday, we released a film called Boy A in New York. It is about an adolescent who is just released after serving much of his life in custody for the killing of another child. He gets a new name and a chance to re-create himself.

Boy A has already won four Bafta TV Awards (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) including Best Actor and Best Director, and received rave reviews after its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last year. And even with all of these accolades, the major press outlets are choosing not to cover this film and are instead using their airtime and columns to talk about the newest superhero movie for the hundredth time.
