MICKEY'S MILLIONS: DISNEY/MIRAMAX TO FINANCE NEW MICHAEL MOORE DOCUMENTARY; WILL CLAIM LINK BETWEEN BUSH-BIN LADEN
DISNEY's modern-day magic kingdom has room for all: Now joining Mickey and Minnie and Pooh bear and Goofy -- is Hollywood badboy Michael Moore, the DRUDGE REPORT explains.
The WALT DISNEY CO. is set to spend millions financing a new explosive Bush-bashing documentary from Michael Moore [BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE] -- a documentary which claims bin Laden was greatly enriched by the Bush family!
DISNEY, via subsidiary MIRAMAX, has agreed to cover the production costs, said to be in the millions, of Moore's planned FAHRENHEIT 911.
"The primary thrust of the new film is what has happened to the country since Sept. 11, and how the Bush administration used this tragic event to push its agenda," Moore explains.
FAHRENHEIT 911 will be released during the upcoming presidential election cycle. [More Moore in '04.]
The director claims he will document on film how the "senior Bush kept his ties with the bin Laden family up until two months after Sept. 11."
Moore will also scrutinize, in graphic detail, why America is so disliked abroad.
With DISNEY financing now secure, Moore, who once railed against corporate media interests, may appear at this week's Cannes film festival in France.
