Miramax execs see themselves in satirical novel - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (1003 words)
Several veterans of the New York-based Miramax who have read the chapters and outline say the book is filled with actual incidents from their Miramax days, and say a number of real Miramax executives are the obvious foundation for many of the book's key players.
The unfinished book, which follows in the literary footsteps of the loosely fictionalized novels "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Nanny Diaries," depicts High Art as the show-business equivalent of a medieval torture chamber, where pain is inflicted by pitiless bosses and petulant celebrities.
Miramax says that because so many book divisions are owned by media conglomerates, it is increasingly rare that any publisher does not have a sister movie studio.

At this time, Miramax was experiencing an extended dry spell at the box office, and reports began to surface that the company was missing payments to filmmakers, at least one of whom took their case to court.
Miramax was now the subject of a small wave of negative media coverage, some of which centered on the Weinstein brothers' reputations for uncontrolled outbursts of temper.
