Do You Still Want a Revolution?
Variety touched base with one of the few remaining "independent" studios with a piece on Joe Roth and Revolution Studios. The upside of the analysis is that Revolution's partnership with Sony wraps up at the end of 2006 and two of it's partners -- Rob Moore and Todd Garner -- have moved on from the company.

Without predicting the future of Revolution, the article points to Roth's desire to slow talks until after its upcoming slate conquers at the box office, for reflecting a more balanced portfolio of pictures that reads differently than its young male past (Tomcats) with Rent, Freedomland and The Fog. For Sony, with a number of labels on its own besides Revolution and integrating MGM into the fold, the question becomes do they need this product?
