Moore to Shoot 'Fahrenheit' Sequel Friday, November 12, 2004
LOS ANGELES — Michael Moore (search) plans a follow-up to "Fahrenheit 9/11," his hit documentary that assails President Bush over the handling of the Sept. 11 attacks and the war on terrorism, according to a Hollywood trade paper.
Moore told Daily Variety that he and Harvey Weinstein (search), the Miramax boss who produced the film, hope to have "Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2" (search) ready in two to three years.
"Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information [in this election] and we want to educate and enlighten them," Moore was quoted in Thursday's edition of Variety. "They weren't told the truth. We're communicators and it's up to us to start doing it now."
A spokesman for Fellowship Adventure Group (search), formed by Weinstein and brother Bob to help distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11," did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
"Fahrenheit 9/11," which won top honors at last May's Cannes Film Festival, became the first documentary to top $100 million at the domestic box office. Moore, who won the documentary Academy Award for "Bowling for Columbine," is pushing "Fahrenheit 9/11" in the best-picture category for the upcoming Oscars.
The issues for the follow-up film will remain the same, Iraq and terrorism, Moore said.
"The official mourning period is over today and there is a silver lining: George W. Bush is prohibited by law from running again," Moore said.
This is precisely the kind of arrogance that Lefties are unable to recognize amongst themselves.
Moore's position is that Bush was re elected because people were misinformed, or not informed at all. All that's needed is more info, more broadly disseminated, to get people thinking correctly. Because any sane person MUST agree with Moore once the facts are laid bare.
This kind of attitude completely extinguishes tolerance of differing opinions. At its core, it means "if you don't agree with me you're ignorant".
Subsidiary of the Film Actors Guild.
Understand, that to the Progessive-Left-Libs if you don't agree with them, then you are uninformed.
So they inform you to death!
If you still don't agree with them, you are stupid.
The propaganda machine speaks...
Let him spend that $120M making and promoting Fahrenheit II, then lose it all when no one shows up.
Please don't use the word bare when the subject is "Michael Moore".
Looking at this picture, it seems that el piggy has lost some of his fat.
We should be willing to give out free tickets to this monstrosity after all the revulsion with Moore and votes for Bush the first one produced. It's really fun to watch libs self-destruct in public.
Be sure to have it ready in time for the 2006 election!
Moore made a lot of bucks because he got a ton of free advertising from all the media, the talk shows, Hollywood celebrities, the Cannes film festival, and the politicians.
It remains to be seen if they will choose to do that again. Moore probably helped excite the teenage rebel crowd, but other than that he probably did the Democrats more harm than good. They may choose to keep him at arms length in decent obscurity next time.
Funny, I thought he hated General Motors? I guess he'll take their money for commercials and contribute it to lefty causes.
Michael,
1. Get a haircut
2. Shave
3. Take a bath
4. Join a health club and shed a few hundred pounds
5. Eat sensibly
6. Now, with that done, find yourself a nice girl.
Maybe that will give some purpose to your life and convert you from being the bitter, hateful, irrelevant sap that you are.
