Weinstein showcases Grace Kelly, Mandela flicks

CANNES, France (AP) — The Weinstein Company’s fall slate of awards contenders will feature a glamorous Grace Kelly, a brawny Nelson Mandela and a mysterious J.D. Salinger.

Harvey Weinstein previewed some of his company’s most anticipated upcoming releases at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. He’s made a habit of such previews, doing the same in 2012 for the Oscar-winning films “Django Unchained” and “Silver Linings Playbook.” Last year, Weinstein said, was “as good as any year at Miramax” — the first film company run by Weinstein and his brother Bob.
