Fahrenheit 9/11 - The Sequel.....

http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movi....ap/index.html


Quote:
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Michael Moore plans a follow-up to "Fahrenheit 9/11," his hit documentary that assails President Bush over the handling of the September 11 attacks and the war on terrorism, according to a Hollywood trade paper.

Moore told Daily Variety that he and Harvey Weinstein, the Miramax boss who produced the film, hope to have "Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2" 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, 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 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.



Heres to hoping he puts the better part of that 100+ million from the last one into this one, and it flops. Very wishful thinking though.

Fahrenheit 2: George Bush Boogaloo

I don't know why he would want to make this movie. It's not like it can change anything now.

Like the first one, the movie could change a lot... like the number of dollars in his bank account.

The jerk.

You need some of these people to vote for your candidate.
Calling the uneducated and unenlightened (unlike himself) isn't helping his cause.
The Democrats need to embrace the average American not alienate them.

I don't think Michael Moore realizes how much of a hand he had in winning the election for Bush.

he can blame himself for the election loss. All of the pictures of him sitting with Jimmy Carter at the Dem. convention really pissed people off.

Personally who cares? Local government effects our lives more then the Federal Government except the fact the Fed can draft people which means I will be put in jail.

Calm down, Noop. They're not going to have a draft. That was just a scare tatic by the Democrats to get young voters to pick Kerry. And if they do have a draft? Don't worry because I've already served and I'm "disabled" so I don't have to go.

Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2 apparently, according to the article.

Although I'm not sure who they expect to believe this crap, considering they aren't gonna enlighten anyone about Bush when he can't be elected again anyway.

I mean the movie did well, but I don't think 51% of the American people saw it.

That's not all that bad, considering 100% of the people who saw his movie weren't told the truth.
