Fahrenheit 9/11 Opens June 25
Hey Everyone...
As you may have heard by now, we finally have a distributor in America for "Fahrenheit 9/11." Actually, two of them! Lions Gate Films and IFC Films have agreed to aggressively distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11" in theaters all across the country beginning three weeks from today on Friday, June 25th. We are, needless to say, extremely grateful for their courage (trust me, no matter what the potential box office may be, anyone who has considered taking on this distribution job has also met with a lot of pressure NOT to do it in the past month).
They will open it on a record number of screens for a documentary. There is no stopping it now!
These are great distributors. Jon Feltheimer, the man who runs Lions Gate, was the executive in charge of the company that produced my television series, "TV Nation." And the people at IFC (which owned Bravo) were the same people responsible for funding and broadcasting my other series, "The Awful Truth." So we are in very good hands.
(And, as an added bonus, Lions Gate is a Canadian company. Once again, the Canadians to the rescue! It was also a Canadian company, Salter Street Films, that produced "Bowling for Columbine." I know, it's kinda sad we have to keep depending on our good neighbors to the north. But maybe this is the year we give 'em their Stanley Cup back.)
There's a lot more to tell you -- and I will write to you again over the next few days. I'm in the mood to spill some beans, much to the consternation of certain people. Oh well!
Also, I have posted the trailer for "Fahrenheit 9/11" so that you can get your first glimpse at scenes from the movie--you can check it out at www.fahrenheit911.com.
Thanks for all your wonderful letters of support -- they have meant a great deal to us.
Save the date -- June 25! It's the first summer film where the special effects will be real...
Yours truly,
M-I-C (see ya real soon!)
K-E-Y (why? because they can't kill this friggin' movie!)
M-O-O-R-E
P.S. For our fans in the rest of the world, don't worry -- you already have distributors. And most of you will also be able to see it this summer! Thanks.

Date: 2004-06-11 08:26 am (UTC)Troll, despite being told repeatedly that Bush has lied, misled and falsified, despite being reasonably certain that his ascension into the white house was tainted by corruption and illegal, a frighteningly large portion of the American populace like and admire Bush. Go figure.
Michael Moore is not really a threat to Bush, because so many Americans have their head up their ass, and are living only for "the American Dream" (which consists of whatever the multinational corporations who run the country tell them it should) without regard for the rest of the world, that he is practically a shoe in. I heard talk on public radio thismorning that there is even hope that Bush will take our state (Minnesota) in the election, something a republican has not done in 30 years.
Rome fell, as did Hitlers 3rd Reich, so too must the US, and Bush is in the freakin drivers seat. If there is a God, may he be merciful. Or at least let me live on as an undead zombie, foraging in the wastelands for a bit-o-brains.
Re: Mike shall live to see the fall
Date: 2004-06-11 09:11 am (UTC)That man has been a HUGE thorn in dubya's ass ever since. I heard him speaking on public radio about what a liar dubya is.
Word is dubya talked to a lawyer on the issue. I think this may be the issue that finally gets dimbulb in trouble.
Re: Mike shall live to see the fall
Date: 2004-06-11 12:42 pm (UTC)But this just compounds my point; EXPERTS with FIRST HAND info are calling Bush a liar and a cheat, and still the neocons and idiots exhalt the man.
I don't get it. And whatever it is, I don't want it.
