Weinsteins find 'Joy' with docu buy


September 14, 2007 The Weinstein Co. acquired North American rights late Thursday to director Grant Gee's music documentary "Joy Division" for a price in the low- to mid-six figures. The chronological account of the influential late 1970s English rock band screened late last week at the Toronto International Film Festival. Endeavor Independent, which had three of the biggest sales at last year's Toronto fest -- "Rescue Dawn," "El Cantante," which it co-repped with William Morris Independent, and "You Kill Me," which it co-repped with ICM -- repped the sale for the "Joy" filmmakers.
