Weinstein denies rumours of rift with Moore

Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has hit back at reports Michael Moore is releasing a Fahrenheit 9/11 sequel through another production company because of an ongoing feud with the filmmaker.

Rumours of a rift between the pair surfaced earlier this month when the Oscar winner announced he had signed a deal with Paramount Vantage and Overture Films to make the second instalment, instead of the Weinstein Company, which put out the controversial 2004 original.
