Michael Moore 'taking Weinsteins to court'

Michael Moore has said that he will take Bob and Harvey Weinstein to court.

In February, the filmmaker filed a lawsuit against Harvey's Fellowship Adventure Group for allegedly using "bogus accounting methods" to withhold profits from the 2004 Palme d'Or-winning documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

Asked if he would settle out of court with the film producers, Moore told the New York Post: "No settlement. No interest in one. Discovery and depositions will reveal how the accounting is done, once and for all.

"I hold no ill will, and for now am just blaming all of this on his accountants and business-affairs people. If I had to bet, I'm guessing they never even showed [Harvey] the independent auditor's report."

He added that, according to the auditor's report, he is owed "a minimum of $3 million". Moore said that Harvey "can fix this any day he wants to, and we can get back to making movies and raising a ruckus together".

However, a source told the newspaper: "[The Weinsteins] would be rushing to settle if they were concerned, but they're not. [The suit] is riddled with inaccuracies and ridiculous claims."

The sources added that the money Moore believes is owed was spent on "standard deductions" and "union guild residuals".
