Blogs are buzzing, but the fact that Michael Moore is making a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11 is old news –– the film is referenced in this NY Times story from April of last year. The new news in this story from Variety’s Cannes section is that the film will be distributed internationally by Overture and Paramount Vantage––NOT The Weinstein Company, which handled the relatively disappointing release of Sicko. The same companies will rep the doc for international sale at Cannes.- The Playlist has details on Miranda July’s in-the-works second feature, Things We Don’t Understand and Definitely Are Not Going To Talk About.
- The title of this post at Tisch Film Review is worded a bit confusingly, but it’s basically a list of ten great films that are not available on DVD. The Last Movie, The Mother and the Whore, etc.

I dream of a day when all people can live in peace and harmony and a day when I follow a link back to SpoutBlog that doesn’t expose me as a jackass.
Cold fusion would also be nice.
Forget last year’s Times story, Moore’s sequel has been an idea since the first was released. I think the IMDb even had page for it, titled “Fahrenheit 9/11½”.
According to a 2004 story (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1493674/11122004/story.jhtml)
it was originally planned to be released this year.
Good call. You know for a second I did think, “wait, was this already announced?” But i didn’t really start my blog until april of last year and wasn’t hyper on everything like i am now (or try to anyhow), but i will make an addendum, so thanks
To be fair, i read that Times piece and one throwaway line that says, “9/11.5″ is hardly major evidence of “old news” unless people caught that, got confirmation and then wrote/blogged about it, but it could have been easily missed.
