Miramax Rumored To Be Laying Off 150+ Employees

There is a story that was picked up on Dark Horizons that was featured in Variety today. Below is a transcript of the report:

"Back in June, some papers announced imminent pink slips at Miramax. If not this Friday, then certainly the next, gadflies said. Or maybe after the Fourth of July weekend. Now it’s August and on Monday, the New York Post ran a story about Miramax really, really getting ready to slash its staff, as many as 160 of them. Not that it’s happened yet, but it will ... any moment now..."

We have contacted our sources on the production of Wicked Prayer and asked if this did happen would it have any sort of impact on Wicked Prayer’s release. At this time, since it hasn’t happened and no one knows who would be let go, if indeed true, there is no way of telling how this would, if at all, impact Wicked Prayer’s release. Post production continues at a feverish pace. You may have noticed that August 6 th came and went with no release of the film, as we had said it wouldn’t. There continues to be speculative release updates on IMDB for Germany, with a release scheduled there for February 2005 rather than December 2004 now. We have not received any word on definitive release dates, so until we get the word officially, we will continue to report these dates with a preface of taking them with a pinch of salt.
