novapsycheReports: Disney tries to stop release of Moore film
Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's documentary linking President Bush with powerful Saudi families, including that of Osama bin Laden, is sparking the latest fight within Walt Disney Co.
The film, set to debut at the Cannes film festival later this month, has yet to be released. The New York Times and Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety said in their Wednesday editions that Disney has moved to prevent its Miramax Films unit from distributing "Fahrenheit 9/11."
