Harvey Weinstein
In February 2001, Miramax Films head Harvey Weinstein announced they had reached a first look agreement to develop scripts and features with "The Onion". "As lifelong New Yorkers, we're proud to welcome "The Onion" to our city with this first-look deal", said Harvey Weinstein. "With their witty, sophisticated humor, they will undoubtedly soon be the toast of the town." Weinstein added.
