A January 17, 2004 file photo shows filmmaker Michael Moore in Pembroke, New Hampshire. Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's documentary linking U.S. President George W. Bush with powerful Saudi families, including that of Osama bin Laden, is stirring up controversy even before its release. That's if it even gets released. Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety said in its Wednesday edition that Walt Disney Co. has moved to prevent its Miramax Films unit from distributing "Fahrenheit 911." The Disney edict could herald the bloodiest political battle yet between Miramax's feisty co-chairman Harvey Weinstein and Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who oversaw the purchase of Miramax a decade ago, Daily Variety said.
