Michael Moore preparing to turn sights on Wall St
Oscar-winning director Michael Moore vowed Thursday to turn his sights on the Wall Street chieftains blamed for the global economic meltdown in a new documentary to be released later this year.
Moore, whose past targets have included President George W. Bush, the US healthcare system and the gun lobby, said his as yet untitled film would be released on October 2.
“The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn’t have enough wealth. They wanted more — a lot more — so they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money,” Moore said.
“Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie.”
The film’s distributors Overture Films and Paramount Vantage said the movie would take “a comical look at the corporate and political shenanigans” that culminated in last year’s multi-billion-dollar Wall Street bailout.
Moore’s 2002 film “Bowling for Columbine” won the best documentary Academy Award the following year, while 2004’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″ — a searing look at the Bush administration’s conduct following the September 11, 2001 attacks — earned the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or.
