Fahrenheit 9/11 June 25th

CANNOT WAIT Though i wholeheartedly agree with the person who said they shudder to imagine the misspelled marquees that will appear across the land. Thanks, Heidi.

Fahrenheit 9/11 finds coalition of willing distributors

After being famously dropped by Disney, Michael Moore's award-winning documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 has finally secured US distribution and will hit American cinemas on June 25. [emphasis mine-SG]

The film is to be released by a partnership of Lions Gate Films, IFC Films and the Fellowship Adventure Group, which was formed by Miramax's Harvey and Bob Weinstein specifically to market Moore's film.

(not much) More in link

Just imagine the meetings that took place! It seems just like that scene in RKO 281 where all the studio heads are sitting around trying to figure out what dirt Hearst has on each of them. (Except that Liev Schrieber is ever-so-slightly hotter than Michael Moore. Sorry, Michael.)

EDIT 6/3: Now you can see the trailer.

Well, i don't cry easily in movies, but i was teary at least half of the time. It was pretty intense watching the 9/11 footage in Manhattan. i could hardly speak for about a half-hour afterwards.

Every show was sold out with lines around the corner. i hope the reception is as good everywhere. It could not have been better in the theater i was in- two rounds of applause and several folks brought to their feet.

Wow.
