Michael Moore to Escalate in Next Project
Michael Moore is a brave man. On the heels of his Academy Award and his kic=
k ass aceptance speech to billions, his next project has been announced ( a=
nd funded). It will depict the murky relationship between President Bush's =
father and the family of Osama bin Laden, the thesis being that the bin Lad=
en family was greatly enriched by deal making with the Bushies. As told by =
Michael Fleming in Variety's Dish ( need to register to read) "Moore is mak=
ing a deal with Mel Gibson's Icon Prods. to finance "Fahrenheit 911," a doc=
u that will trace why the U.S. has become a target for hatred and terrorism=
. It will also depict alleged dealings between two generations of the Bush =
and bin Laden clans that led to George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden becoming=
mortal enemies." " The deal comes as Moore's Oscar-winning "Bowling for Co=
lumbine" moves toward the $40 million worldwide gross mark. The $3 million =
film is one of the most successful documentaries ever. The primary thrust o=
f the new film is what has happened to the country since Sept. 11, and how =
the Bush administration used this tragic event to push its agenda" Moore ha=
s put a year's worth of research into the film and he'll complete it in tim=
e to be submitted for Cannes, 2004, and released in time for the presidenti=
al election that fall. Now that will make for a hornet's nest.
