Moore Preps 'Searing' Fahrenheit 9/11 Sequel

Posted May 14, 08 3:24 AM CDT in Politics,  Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Rabble-rousing filmmaker Michael Moore is working on a sequel to his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The follow-up to his 2004 savaging of President Bush—the biggest-selling political documentary ever—will be "searing and provocative," he vowed, but gave few other details. The new film won't be released until after the presidential election.
