Michael Moore’s New Film Is “Dangerous”
17-May-2008

Michael Moore wants audiences on the edge of their seats.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Michael Moore promises his next documentary, tentatively titled While America Slept, will be “dangerous.”
While at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, where the filmmaker launched Sicko a year ago and won the festival’s top honor for 2004’s Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore outlined the broad ideas for his next film.
“I can’t obviously tell you what I’m really up to, because I want to be able to finish,” Moore said, but he did reveal that the new movie will offer a withering look at America’s global conduct and reputation.
“We have a big, big mess, and I don’t know if it can be cleaned up. The toxicity of the spill is just that great,” Moore says. “Since I made Fahrenheit, our standing in the world had depleted to an even worse state.”
Even though he says the new film “isn’t about Bush,” the president is clearly a central target.
“He and his cronies and his supporters literally got away with murder,” Moore says. But it is also obvious that the country’s citizens share some of the blame, he says, which explains the proposed title being considered by distributors Paramount Vantage and Overture Films.
The film should be released in 2009.
