BOB WEINSTEIN - WEINSTEINS TO REMAKE SUMO MOVIE

WEINSTEINS TO REMAKE SUMO MOVIE

Movie moguls HARVEY and BOB WEINSTEIN have snapped up the rights to an Israeli movie about a chef who becomes a sumo wrestler.
The pair fell for A Matter of Size after catching the Hebrew language movie at this year's (09) Tribeca Film Festival in New York, and they have started work on a new version in English.
The film follows an overweight dishwasher at a Japanese restaurant who realises he could be a sumo superstar.
Harvey Weinstein says, "A Matter of Size is a feel-good comedy that is really touching and funny. It's a relatable story that will translate for American audiences, who I expect will enjoy it as much as I did."
