Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" to be released Election Day 2004!

... Republicans gearing up to petition Miramax and theaters to scrap movie...

"The senior Bush kept his ties with the bin Laden family up until two months
after Sept. 11...It (the new project) certainly does deal with the Bush and bin Laden ties, it asks a number of questions that I don't have the answers to yet, but which I intend to find out".

A portion of the doco will deal with the business relationship between former president George Bush and the late Saudi construction magnate Mohammed bin Laden (Osama's father). However overall the main thrust of the film will be examining what has happened to the United States since the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

The film's french distributors Wild Bunch (outputing through Miramax in the US) are trying to target a world premiere at Cannes but in regards to it's official release, its date will probably be November, 2004... election day!

Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood (www.PABAAH.com ) and ConservativePetitions.com have joined efforts to protest the development and release of "Fahrenheit911", the latest film project directed by controversial director Michael Moore. It is our intention to petition Miramax studios to terminate their relationship with this project or face a possible boycott. Theatre chains will also be petitioned in order to make them aware of the anti-American nature of this film.

People, we need to counter-organize. We need to promise to fill up theaters for this movies and threaten boycotts of our own should they cower to the GOP.

That movie needs to be released BEFORE election day.

please move this movie up a month or even a week!!!

with this release date. However, I doubt the vrwc can convince Miramax to drop this. Moore makes too much money for them.

election day is at least two weeks too late. People need to see it before they decide who to vote for.

What are they thinking?

What good will that do?

Movies are generally released only on Wednesdays and Fridays--election day's on a Tuesday. Is there a better source for this information for confirmation?

That's a Tuesday.

Movies are released on Wednesdays or Fridays.

At least, the talked-about movies like this one will be.

it will be at least a month until the whole country gets to see it

and is it possible to open a film on tuesday?

...not set in stone.

As for alternate sources for the story, it quoted a UPI story but the link didn't work for me.

It covers the same stuff maybe even with more guts. I have to wait and see how fare Moore is willing to go with his film.

Osama is a Bush should be seen by as many people as possible between now and Election Day.

And they WILL back down! Their movies are too small to survive any boycotts! Let's start writing them now!
