LOS ANGELES - Michael Moore's award-winning documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" has picked up a U.S. distributor and will hit theaters June 25.

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

Moore's film, which recently won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, criticizes President Bush's response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and connects the Bush family with Osama bin Laden's.

The Weinsteins, who run Miramax Films, bought the rights to the movie from The Walt Disney Co., which owns Miramax and refused to distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11."

The Weinstein brothers will personally finance and control distribution and marketing, they said Tuesday.

"I am grateful to them now that everyone who wants to see it will now have the chance to do so," Moore said in a statement.

"On behalf of my stellar cast - GW, Dick, Rummy, Condi and Wolfie - we thank this incredible coalition of the willing for bringing 'Fahrenheit 9/11' to the people."

Disney chief executive Michael Eisner said the company "did not want a film in the middle of the political process" because he believed that theme park and entertainment consumers "do not look for us to take sides."

In a settlement reached last week, the Weinsteins repaid their parent company for all costs of the film to date, estimated at around $6 million. Any profits from the film's distribution that go to Miramax or Disney will be donated to charity.

Is it just me or does Lion's Gate have some of the biggest balls in the business the last few ears?

They rock!

One film that I will not under any ciircumstances miss.

Its going to be one of those movies that if you dont see it you wont know what people are talking about. :)

I am so impressed that Lions Gate Films, IFC Films and the Fellowship Adventure Group are going to be releasing this movie. I know that alot of people out there dislike Michael Moore, but I have to give him credit. He has more balls than alot of people do, he says the things that most of us think but would never dream of saying. I'm really looking forward to seeing his latest movie, sure it's going to create an even bigger controversy than it already has.

I'm sure that I will go and see it sooner or later

So I guess it wont be distrubted on bittorent anymore as planned?

I highly doubt that.

Columbine only did what 40 million world wide in ticket sales?

I think that movie will gather supporters who are against terrorism all over the world.
