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.
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!
