Weinsteinco and Swedish meatballs?
Mediabistro says they've got a Weinsteinco exclusive on doings around their first pic: "The new Weinstein Company has yet to release a film, and already, it's making pals... The director of it's [sic] first non-Mouse-owned [release] is caught in Harvey's tangled web. Over at the under-new-management Paramount, execs were eager to make a deal with Derailed's director, Mikael Hafstrom [and assigned him to] Marvel Comics'... Deathlok as a priority development deal..." But! "Harvey's got an option on Hafstrom, and insiders say he's not letting go so easily of his new Swede." Prediction: it depends on how much b.o. Derailed throws off, or "on just how willing Paramount is to cut in [Weinsteinco] on half of a new Marvel Comics movie just months after Paramount made an overall deal with Marvel...?"
