Michael Moore plans "Fahrenheit 9/11" sequel

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Director Michael Moore is planning a sequel to "Fahrenheit 9/11," his polemic against the Bush administration, to be released about the time of the next presidential campaign, according to a spokeswoman for his distributor.

The sequel, dubbed "Fahrenheit 9/11 and 1/2," will revisit the same issues as Moore's earlier documentary, which he repeatedly said was aimed at swaying the outcome of the presidential race against President George W. Bush.

"We want to get the cameras rolling now and have it ready in two (to) three years," Moore told Daily Variety columnist Army Archerd on Thursday. "Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information (in this election), and we want to educate and enlighten them. They weren't told the truth."

Bush was re-elected last week, winning 51 percent of the vote to Democratic Senator John Kerry's 48 percent.

Moore added, "The official mourning period is over today and there is a silver lining -- George W. Bush is prohibited by law from running again."

A spokeswoman for Lions Gate Entertainment confirmed Moore's plans for the sequel.

Moore's film, which won the top prize at the Cannes film festival, has grossed nearly $120 million (65 million pounds) at the U.S. box office since its theatrical release in June, a record for a political documentary.

The film, which was backed by Miramax and distributed by a partnership including Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., is expected to be considered for a best picture nomination at the Academy Awards.

I ended up seeing the movie in the summer, right around the time of the calgary stampede, and although I like michael moore's work, I feel that he failed to really hammer George W. Bush even though there was enough info to do it. I went into it expecting to see a bunch of new information, but if you had read a paper in the last few years, you would have known pretty much everything in the movie. It's great to make Bush look dumb, but come on let's make him look like the retarded puppet that he is...........come on michael lay off the cheetos for a minute and lets bury this ignant muthafucka...

Peace
