Michael Moore's neuer Film Fahrenheit 911, welcher in den USA nicht vertrieben werden sollte (ich berichtete) und nebenbei bei den Filmfestspielen in Cannes gewonnen hat, wird nun anscheinend doch auch in den USA gezeigt werden: Bob and Harvey Weinstein finalized the deal Friday to buy back Michael Moore (news)'s "Fahrenheit 9/11" - which Walt Disney Co. blocked their Miramax Films division from releasing - and distribute it themselves.

The brothers formed the Fellowship Adventure Group, described as "a new special-purpose company," to personally acquire all rights to the film, according to a joint press release from Disney and Miramax.

They also reached a settlement so that Disney does not benefit from the movie it turned its back on. Any profits from the film's distribution that go to Miramax or Disney will be donated to charity, the statement said. [via Yahoo! News: Weinstein Brothers Buy Moore Documentary]
