Michael Moore’s “sequel” follow up to “Fahrenheit 9/11” — said to be an economic-centered doc possibly called, “Bailout” — is set for a release before the end of the year through Overture Films and Paramount Vantage according to small mention in a Variety article.
Details on the film has been fluid and it seems to be an ever-evolving process. At first the “sequel” seemed to focus on foreign policy, but then changed gears midway and started to look at economy around the time the financial crisis started last fall.
In February, Moore said he was looking for Wall Street Insiders to step forward in hopes of illuminating what happened last year, in hopefully a deeper manner than the facile buzzword “Wall Street greed” (or at least that’s our hope). “I’m looking for a few brave people who work on Wall Street or in the financial industry to come forward and share with me what they know,” he wrote on his website.
Either way, it’s good to know we’ll be getting another Michael Moore film in 2009.
Wasn’t Sicko his follow-up to Fahrenheit?
Well, it’s like the follow-up “sequel.” So I added “sequel,” but yes, you’re correct that chronologically, “Sicko” came next. We’ll see how much of a sequel it is, but at one point it was dubbed Fahrenheit 9/11.5 or something like that.
Prolly was just the working title, but they were supposed to be sister films. We’ll see if that’s still the case.
