Oh, now we get why NBC issued that injunction to keep the Weinsteins from moving their baby, Project Runway, from Bravo to Lifetime. At first everyone thought it was just because NBC wasn't given their rights of first refusal when Lifetime offered to buy the show for double the price per episode, something that obviously would help out the drowning Harvey and Bob as they try to keep their company afloat amid massive setback after massive setback.
Turns out, NBC isn't as vindictive as everyone thought, or maybe they are: the peacock is trying to stall the move in order to ready their copycat show.
Our sources say the casting call for Bravo's "Fashion House" on Craigslist is remarkably similar to pitches made by "Project Runway," which was headed to Lifetime before a lawsuit put it in limbo.
It reads: "We're currently accepting applications from talented designers where the winner will win a large cash prize. Let Bravo serve as the launching pad to catapult your fashion career into high gear!"
So all this court time and money is just a filibusterer so NBC can take the formula for Project Runway and make an identical show? That means that even if Jeff Zucker and Co. win against the Weinsteins, they're not going to want to keep the program, so it's a court case they've entered hoping that they will lose (you can't have two identical programs on the same channel!), or that they'll win and demand more money from the Weinsteins to make the mover over to Lifetime.
We can't wait until this story get's made into a Lifetime movie. It's going to be way better than that Matthew Modine crap they're trying to peddle us now.
