Home > 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.

Well i just want to say that Mr. Moore i happen to think ur a genius and that there is no better way to let ppl see reality unless u put it smack in their faces. Im 17 and as soon as i saw bowling for columbine i bought it. I think the movies and shows that u have done are great and never stop telling the truth.
