EXCLUSIVE: A potential legal battle is brewing between Michael Moore and Harvey and Bob Weinstein over Fahrenheit 11/9, the sequel Moore is making to his 2004 film, which became the biggest grossing documentary of all time. Titled Fahrenheit 11/9 to commemorate the day Donald Trump pulled off a shocking victory to become U.S. president, the new film focuses on how it happened and all the chaos that followed in his first year in office. The Weinsteins have controls over the docu and sources said they are right now blocking Moore and his WME reps from being able to set the film with a theatrical distributor or a premium broadcast outlet.
Sources said the brothers paid just north of $2 million out of the $6 million pledged in a docu deal that Moore used to get the film to this point. That deal was made before TWC was hobbled by the testimonies of numerous women that painted Harvey Weinstein as a serial sexual predator. Sources describe the crux of the dispute this way: the Weinsteins want their money back while Moore and his WME reps want them to step aside, chalking the loss up to the price of scandal.

So.. Michael Moore ( no relation to Roy Moore) is attempting to welsh on two million owed to the Weinstein brothers.
Let it go to court! And take years and decades of appeals!
GET IN MAH BELLY!!!
Ay carumba.
Just reading that litany of spiteful, righteous (faux) anger
and virtue signaling makes my head hurt.
May the biggest fool lose, is all I can say.
So, it’s a movie version of Hillary’s “What Happened”?
When it was released in 2004, Fahrvergnügen 7/11 was called the most important movie of our times. Funny how I never heard it mentioned again after then.
I’m overwhelmed by the amount of good news...the left have turned into cannibals.
Perhaps we can coin this disorder, leftistcannibalisglutimusmaximus, or, the Left biting each other in the butt.
This thread is close to exceeding the maximum allowed weight limit!
It’s strange that it’s allowed to discuss “Fahrenheit 9/11” but not allowed to discuss substantive movies about the preposterous kerosene theory, etc.
Stupid title. All the votes were cast on or before 11/8, even the absentee overseas ballots.
It would be interesting to see Moore’s and Swinestein’s pictures side-by-side since they both look like they have been dumpster diving for at least a month.
Wow...so Michael Moore is a bigger idiot than first thought.
The LEFT are now intent on burning books and controlling speech yet somehow this is a jab at Trump?!?
Wait, strike that, didn’t comprehend...carry on!
