LOS ANGELES - Rarely are delicate contract negotiations, worth potentially millions of dollars, conducted in public. Except, of course, in Hollywood...
The latest blow up is over the Michael Moore documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11," which was funded in part by Miramax.
Disney chief executive Michael Eisner told Miramax last year that Disney would not distribute the film, which is highly critical of President Bush (news - web sites).
But that didn't stop Moore last month from decrying Disney's decision, suggesting it was an attempt to avoid angering Republican leaders and jeopardizing tax breaks Disney gets on its theme parks in Florida.
