"Farenheit 9/11" in US theaters June 25
Michael Moore's award-winning documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" has picked up a U.S. distributor and will hit theaters June 25.Posted by Norwood at June 2, 2004 06:15 AMThe film will be released by a partnership of Lions Gate Films, IFC Films and the Fellowship Adventure Group, which was formed by Harvey and Bob Weinstein specifically to market Moore's film.
The Weinsteins, who run Miramax Films, bought the rights to the movie from The Walt Disney Co., which owns Miramax and refused to distribute Moore's film.
The Weinstein brothers will personally finance and control distribution and marketing, they said Tuesday.
"I am grateful to them now that everyone who wants to see it will now have the chance to do so," Moore said in a statement.
"On behalf of my stellar cast -- GW, Dick, Rummy, Condi and Wolfie -- we thank this incredible coalition of the willing for bringing 'Fahrenheit 9/11' to the people."
