Weinstein Co. has finally set the dates for its fall movie slate with visible Oscar candidates now on the radar.

The company got off to a great start this year with the critically acclaimed "The Railway Man" and is soon to release festival favorites "The Immigrant," "Begin Again" and "Tracks." However, when it comes to Weinstein, most pundits and audiences want to know what he has in store for the fall.

Weinstein Co. has become synonymous with Oscars as it has won two Best Pictures and has had six Best Picture nominees since it was founded in 2007. The company's CEO Harvey Weinstein knows how to campaign, and the films the company releases at the end of the year usually get big Oscar campaigns. As a result, the three newly scheduled films are likely to become the big Oscar contenders for the company.

The fall season will begin with "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby." The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival where it received rave reviews especially for its cast, which includes Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy. However the version presented at that event was still a work in progress, and the running time was 191 minutes. The film was also divided into two parts that were entitled "Him" and "Her." "Eleanor Rigby" is gearing up to be shown in the Un Certain Regard sidebar of the Cannes Film Festival, but based on the information on the Cannes website, the running time is two hours. The question that most pundits will be asking is if the new cut will have the same impact that the Toronto cut had and if the movie will still remain in two parts. Weinstein Co. will release the film Sept. 26.

On Nov. 21, the company has set the release for "The Imitation Game." When Weinstein acquired the film in February, headlines were roaring about the pricey $7 million the company had paid for the movie. Weinstein banked on the movie even though it had only seen the first 15 minutes of it; the company is known for doing this. Last year the Weinstein Company acquired "Grace of Monaco" after previewing the first couple of minutes at Cannes. However a finished product was never shown to the distributor. When the distributor finally saw the final cut, disputes erupted.

"The Imitation Game" seems like the perfect Oscar candidate as it is based on real events and has promising cast. The film tells the story of the English mathematician and logician Alan Turing who helps crack the Enigma code during World War II. Benedict Cumberbatch is already receiving buzz for his portrayal, and based on his recent popularity, this may be the role for which receives his first Oscar nomination. The movie also stars Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode and Charles Dance. Weinstein Co. will most likely line the movie up for a fall festival run in anticipation for an Oscar campaign.

On Dec. 25, Tim Burton's latest film "Big Eyes" will be unveiled. The movie has intrigued audiences as it is Burton's first low budget in quite some time. "Big Eyes" tells the story of painter Margaret Keane and her phenomenal success in the 1950s and the subsequent legal difficulties she had with her husband, who claimed credit for her works in the 1960s. The buzz surrounding the film is even higher because Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz are its stars. These two actors are well known with the Academy Awards; some pundits are already stating that this could finally be Adams' year to win the Oscar for this film. However it will be interesting to see if Burton is able to remedy his filmmaking especially after the critically panned "Dark Shadows" and "Alice in Wonderland."

One film that did not make the schedule was the aforementioned "Grace of Monaco." A few days ago it was reported that the company was thinking of dropping the film all together because it was not satisfied with the cut being presented at the Cannes Film Festival. However Weinstein has not made its decision, but the fact that it has no release date is very telling of what the final decision could end up being. That being said, perhaps the company is waiting for the premiere to see what reviews look like and if it could still be the awards contender the company expected. The distributor is known for releasing multiple films in December, and at the moment it only has one movie. Perhaps "Grace of Monaco" can fit that bill.
