Miramax Films will work with its sister Walt Disney Co. publishing outfit Hyperion to develop three new cross-promotional books, including a published version of Peter Morgan's screenplay for the Oscar hopeful "The Queen," and source material for new screenplays.
The move is part of an effort toward increased synergy under the direction of Michael Luisi, the newly promoted executive vp business affairs and operations at Miramax. Luisi, who will continue to report to president Daniel Battsek, was executive vp business affairs. With his new responsibilities, he will oversee synergistic moves (including joint acquisitions and marketing efforts) with Disney divisions like ESPN and streamlining daily operations within the company.
