Michael Moore is going to lop one more lawn dart into Bush’s face before he leaves office with a follow up to Fahrenheit 9/11. We get news of this film thanks to the fabled caves of Yahoo:
Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore has begun work on a “searing and provocative” follow-up to his 2004 political documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11,” with plans to release it next year, producers said on Tuesday. In keeping with Moore’s penchant for secrecy surrounding his projects, the studios divulged few details of his latest work except to describe it as “a searing and provocative follow-up” to “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Rosett said Moore’s focus in his new film is a broader look at the United States’ position as an industrialized nation and world power since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Moore’s documentary style may take too many creative liberties, but his films are always entertaining and are fantastic for igniting debate and discussion. As a person that enjoys arguing a point of view; his films make for excellent fodder. As a Communist sympathizer, I tend to agree with Moore, more often than I will disagree. He is a leftist firebrand that gets the other side all riled up. He is like the anti Hannity.
Even if you hate Moore, you have to appreciate what he is doing for documentary film. He is pulling in record numbers and trying to work deals with theatre chains; fighting for screens dedicated to documentary film. I have had a growing love for documentaries over the past few years, and as a rule I now almost prefer them to fiction. With so many ideas being rehashed, and so many remakes being pumped out, now is as good a time as any to mine the rich and fertile grounds of the documentary.
He already did a follow up, Captain Mike Across America. He’s already remaking/reimagining/rebooting his own material.
Is he going to be in the nursing home still making fictional documentaries about Bush?
“Moore is doing for the documentary film the same thing Fall Out Boy does for the art of guitar playing.”
HAHAHAAHHAHA
That was a level 10 burn! BURN!
Moore is doing for the documentary film the same thing Fall Out Boy does for the art of guitar playing. The endless cesspool of “gotcha” documentaries filled with bloated egos spitting out rapid-fire half truths and dissociated images can be laid at his feet — and his politics is easily a secondary issue for me on this issue (ex: similar to the way Bill O’Reily killed cable news interview shows). The preening “Where in the World is Osama?” and hilariously embarrassing “Loose Change” are his children – and would never had been given a second look if he wasn’t around first.
Oh, and the $10,000 wager is unchallenged the same reason Alec Baldwin didn’t leave the US when Bush won and that jailbird Kent Hovind hasn’t paid out a million when people brought him proof of evolution: they cannot be wrong in their own eyes. All of the facts in the world will not dissuade them.
Here’s the real Fahrenheit 9/11.

Check it……,!
I gotta admit the Tayster makes a valid argument. For as much as people think Moore to be a Liberal agenda pusher, there’s also the other side of the coin. Just because someone hasn’t come forth to claim the $10 000 on one of his lies, doesn’t mean he didn’t at least bend the truth majorly in his favour.
On another note, I find it a little convenient that the sequel to F911 comes AFTER Bush and his croonies leave office. The truth will never truly and totally be known, so all we can do is live with the consequences.
I hate coming to a movie website and arguing about politics – which is part of the reason I stopped going to IMDb’s boards – but I want to put my two cents here.
Sure, Moore has made some fun movies, but I believe his view about as much as I believe Tom Cruise that Scientology is the way to go.
Let’s look at in on the other side. Let’s say Rush Limbaugh – who, by the way, has used many facts in his radio show and books – decided to make a movie about how the Clinton’s had many people killed. (I figured I would stick to conspiracy theories.) Even if he did the most entertaining movie, edited beautifully and enhanced with great songs to prove his point, would you liberals out there even give the movie a chance?
You talk about the close-mindedness of the conservatives, but Limbaugh’s arguments are just as thought out as anyones, yet I don’t see you rushing (pun intended) to see a movie about his agenda.
Just because people don’t agree with Michael Moore doesn’t make them close-minded Bush robots. It just means that they don’t like Michael Moore.
Yes, he is a left-wing polemicist. No, he is not balanced. We’ve got Fox News and the British Tabloids to spout the right-wing stuff. What I think threatens conservatives is that Moore’s arguments and sophistic tools are more nuanced and thought-out than theirs.
I can understand why some liberals don’t like him too, since he doesn’t conform to their sentimentalised view of ‘balance’ or the middle/moderate position. Society needs a battle of ideas and we should thank Moore for assisting that.
George is totally right!
As for Carl & Jack Bauer (btw very original):
Can you guys name one lie that was in Fahrenheit 9/11. Everything (at least in regards to the political aspects) is correct. I understand that it sure as hell isn’t balanced. However to get the other “side” of his story all you had to do is watch cable news for the years up to and during the war.
I will concede that he does use editing & music to enhance his position. Which isn’t used by alot of documentary film makers. Therefore they call his a propagandist (spelling* lol).
Personally i cant wait to see this. Viva Moore!!!
Moore is a bleeding heart duesh bag, and so is anyone that belives his fictional movies. There about as realistic as Reality TV. Do you really want to throw your hat in the ring with this conspiry theoryist. Take your tinfoil hat off and look into the facts.
Love,
The other white meat.
If Moore lied so much in the first one how come no one came forward to claim the $10,000 he offered to anyone who could prove that he lied once during the film?Because if I knew he was lying I would be claiming that cash. The offer still stands by the way.
As a person who detests the Bush administration, is desperate for the end of the Republican reign, and who drove around to meet Barack Obama three times while he was stumping for votes here in NC, I’m ALL FOR THIS MOVIE.
Ahem. I of course meant “and wanted” not, “and anted”. Bleh.
See “Manufacturing Dissent”, by a Canadian filmmaking duo were were in love with Moore and anted to do a doc just like their hero. Instead, they uncovered evidence that their hero was at best a notorious liar, and at worst someone not to be believed. If you call yourself an “open-minded” thinking person and refuses to see “Manufacturing Dissent”, then you’re a kool-aid drinking Liberal Sheep, and you should admit it.

go mr moore i think the ideas you bring forth with the doc. are great people in this country should think more about them…..
