Los Angeles, CA - - Controversial filmmaker Michael Moore has gone to the court to file charges against Harvey and Bob Weinstein on a profit dispute over the hit documentary, “Fahrenheit 9/11”.

Moore has accused the Weinstein brothers of ‘Hollywood accounting tricks’ and ‘financial deception’ that have cost him an estimated $2.7 million in profit loss, from the actual amount raked in by the controversial documentary.

Citing the legal complaint filed by Moore at the Los Angeles Superior Court early this week, The Associated Press said that Moore has alleged that the Weinsteins and an affiliated business enterprise named in the legal document as “Fellowship Adventure Group” had agreed for an equal distribution of the profits of the documentary at 50-50.

Moore maintained that he got less than what he signed for because the Weinstein brothers and their ‘cohorts’ were tricky enough to hide from him what was supposed to be his.

Conducting his own investigations and auditing of the 2004 film documentary, Moore found out the ‘substantial irregularities in the accounting’. These irregularities, noted AP means that Moore was ‘grossly underpaid’ for his contributions to make the film a success, reportedly collecting an estimated $222 millions of earnings from movie theaters around the world.

The Weinstein brothers are now facing breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and constructive fraud.
