Harvey and Bob Weinstein are reuniting with the film company they founded.
The Weinstein Co. Announced today that it will produce and distribute films and TV shows based on Miramax's library.

Miramax is currently owned by a group of owners, including the equity firm Colony Capital. The library includes hundreds of films, many of them from the heyday of 1990s independent cinema, including "Pulp Fiction."
The Weinstein Co. Says it plans to develop TV series based on the films "Good Will Hunting" and "Flirting With Disaster." It also is exploring sequels or TV shows out of "Swingers" and "Shakespeare in Love.
