Filmmaker Michael Moore in intensive care unit

Filmmaker Michael Moore, in intensive care with pneumonia, asked fans Friday to help get the word out about his latest film, “Where to Invade Next.”

“I’m now worried about my film’s release,” he wrote on Facebook Friday. “I can’t fly, I have to recover, and in one week (February 12th) this great movie I’ve put so much of my life into is going to open in theaters — with little or no assistance from me.

So, would it be OK to enlist your help in a sort of quickly cobbled-together “army” of grassroots foot soldiers, wherein you could pitch in where you live (and on social media) to let people know about my movie?” he continued. “I could post some ideas tomorrow of things you and your friends could do.”

Moore says the grueling schedule to promote the film led to him becoming ill.

“Let’s just say things didn’t look good Sunday night,” he posted on Facebook. “But thanks to a combination of good doctors, decent hospital food and 2nd term Obamacare, I’m doing much better.”

“Between bustin’ it 4 my movie opening next wk, plus in&out of Flint, plus Election work, I find myself today in an ICU w/pneumonia” he tweeted Thursday.

Moore made “Bowling for Columbine,” “Roger & Me” and “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘WHERE TO INVADE NEXT’ IS FUN BUT A BIT LIGHT

He remains a political force with his latest focusing on what America can learn from other countries as he “invades” the countries to see what they have to offer.

Moore realizes his request is unorthodox, but says that after working so hard on this film, he very much wants it to succeed.
