Michael Moore is adamant that his next film is not a sequel to “Fahrenheit 9/11.” He’s said it a bunch and told the NYTimes recently again (it seems dubious that the title will be “Fahrenheit 9/11.5” as some were calling it).He didn’t tell the Times much but did give some small hints. The Grey Lady says the director remains “coy” on the subject matter of the film, but he did not refute reports that it will “explore what he views as American imperialism.” And the recent stock market crash is apparently more grist for the mill.
“Some weeks, like this past week, I wonder if we’re going to have to credit others with the screenplay,” he said.
Moore also talked his upcoming free election documentary, “Slacker Uprising,” which went online today for free. And he makes no bones about its partisan objectives. “The choir, especially on our side of the political fence, is often fairly dejected and could use a good song every now and then.”
