New York Daily News: DiCaprio's hot for 'Fahrenheit'

New York Daily News - Home - Rush & Molloy: DiCaprio's hot for 'Fahrenheit': "DiCaprio, who met with Moore several times as the 'Bowling for Columbine' Oscar winner lensed the film, told The News:
'I think a lot more people who are on the fence about who to vote for, after they see this film, it's going to galvanize them. Young people didn't vote in the last election - that was the problem, and it's going to be the main issue in the next. If you're a young person you've got to get as many people registered to vote, and then get them to vote for their candidate.' In DiCaprio's case, 'that's John Kerry,' he told us.
Spike Lee thinks the Motion Picture Association of America wants to block young people from seeing the film by giving it an R rating. Lions Gate and IFC will release the film, in more theaters than ever for a documentary, on June 25.
'Giving it that rating was slick,' Spike told us. 'But teens should still go to see this movie. John Turturro brought his son tonight. The ratings people were hung up on the violence. Teens see more violence in videos than in this movie."
