Adrian refused Weinstein's request not just to put the film on hold, but to take away their production rights. And even if they lost the production rights, they would still hold the distribution rights, so there was absolutely no reason to ask for compensation. Of course, to appease them, Adrian still promised to consider Miramax for Marvel Comics resources in the future, and also threw out a trilogy because of the Oscars, which left Weinstein with no complaints.
However, both the trilogy and the Superhero would have to wait a while, at least until the end of next year before considering the preparation work. So in order to reassure Weinstein, upon receiving the script for "Little Miss Sunshine," Adrian immediately handed it over to Miramax, but unexpectedly, they also misjudged this time.
"Don't you think this script is a bit too bland?" Weinstein asked him.
