Weinsteins cut deal with writers

An agreement could be announced today, according to the indie's co-founder Harvey Weinstein, who was interviewed by the NYT. Apparently, it's a similar deal to the one worked out last week with United Artists. “We need to get people back to work,” Weinstein said, although he added that executives of the big media aren't happy with him for reaching a separate deal. Anything worked out with the Writers Guild would be superseded by any accord ultimately reached with the big boys.
