Overture Films and Paramount Vantage Set Release of New Film by Michael Moore
Overture Films and Paramount Vantage have announced that Oscar-winner Michael Moore’s new documentary feature will be released domestically on October 2, 2009. The as-yet-untitled film will explore the root causes of the global economic meltdown and take a comical look at the corporate and political shenanigans that culminated in what Moore has described as “the biggest robbery in the history of this country” – the massive transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to private financial institutions.
On this, the 20-year anniversary of his masterpiece Roger & Me, Moore returns to the issue that began his career: the disastrous impact that corporate dominance and out-of-control profit motives have on the lives of Americans and citizens of the world. But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene far wider than Flint, Michigan.
Says Moore:
“The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn’t have enough wealth. They wanted more — a lot more. So they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money. Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie.”
Moore’s new documentary, his first since 2007’s widely-praised Sicko, was first announced by Overture and Paramount Vantage International in May 2008 at the Cannes Film Festival and production began shortly afterward.
“An American Carol” Trailer and Poster For Anti-Michael Moore Movie
The poster and trailer for the upcoming spoof comedy “An American Carol” has been released.
David Zucker is trying to see how badly he can make us miss “Airplane” with his new movie “An American Carol,” in which Chris Farley’s brother shows how badly he can make us miss Chris Farley. Bill O’Reilly featured the trailer on the “Factor” because (shudder) he’s got a cameo in it!
In the movie, Farley stars as Michael Malone (aka Michael Moore), who is an anti-American filmmaker set out to abolish the July Fourth holiday. He is visited by three ghosts who try to show him the country’s good sides. Continue Reading…
Michael Moore says ‘Fahrenheit 9/11′ follow-up is not a sequel
With his follow-up to “Fahrenheit 9/11,” Michael Moore wants to examine America as an empire, study its standing since the Sept. 11 attacks and present revelations to surprise audiences as much as the first film did.
But he doesn’t want to make a sequel.
“To just say it’s a sequel is so wrong,” Moore told The Associated Press yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival, where he met with potential international distributors for the film, due out in 2009.
The documentary announced this week at Cannes will be a broader chronicle than “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which took President Bush to task over the terrorist attacks and the Iraq war.
“It would be easier and safer to make a sequel, if that’s all it was, but this isn’t about Bush. We all know this. Regardless of who the president is come November, we have a big mess, a big, big mess to be cleaned up, and I don’t know whether it can be cleaned up,” Moore said. “The toxicity of the spill may be so great that there’s nothing we can do about it. If that’s the case, where are we now as America and as Americans?”
“Fahrenheit 9/11″ won the top prize at Cannes in 2004 and went on to top $100 million at the domestic box office, the only documentary to hit that mark.
Moore plans to keep details of the film to himself, saying he regretted talking too early about his health-care documentary “Sicko.” Health insurers were able to mobilize against him, which “made it impossible for me to get in anywhere” for interviews, he said.
The new film, which doesn’t yet have a title, is being financed by Overture Films, which is handling the U.S. release, and Paramount Vantage, which is overseeing international distribution. Continue Reading…
Michael Moore making ‘Fahrenheit 9/11′ sequel
Paramount Vantage and Overture Films will co-finance and distribute Michael Moore’s follow-up to his 2004 Palme d’Or winner and global smash Fahrenheit 9/11.
Vantage will commence pre-sales here in what should become one of the hottest titles on the market and Overture will release in North America in a likely summer or autumn 2009 slot. Shooting in the US is expected to begin imminently.
Referring to Moore’s global reputation and the first film’s $225m worldwide gross, Vantage president Nick Meyer said Moore represented a “killer brand”, adding that the title would contain the words “Fahrenheit 9/11 ½.”
Moore’s two other theatrical hits include this year’s Oscar nominee Sicko and the 2003 Oscar winner Bowling For Columbine. Continue Reading…
