FAHRENHEIT 9/11 SEQUEL IN THE WORKS: Michael Moore working on a follow up to his 2004 political documentary.
*Filmmaker Michael Moore says he is currently working on a follow up to his Oscar-winning 2004 documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11," which was a scathing critique of President George W. Bush and his decision to go to war in Iraq.
The as-yet untitled movie aims for a spring 2009 commercial release, a date deliberately chosen by Moore to follow this fall's U.S. presidential election.
Co-financed and distributed by Overture and Paramount Vantage, the film is being described by the two studios as "searing and provocative."
"He intends to examine how America's role in the world has changed over the last eight years," said Overture's chief operating officer, Danny Rosett, adding that Moore did not want the film to be seen as a "politically motivated piece."
"That's why I think he felt strongly about not having it come out before the elections," he told Reuters.
Rosett said Moore's new film would be similar in style to his previous works, blending archival footage, humor, research and segments featuring Moore himself.
