“Even when he commits a self-inflicted wound, he gets up the next morning and keeps going and tweeting. That all ends with this movie.”
Given that Michael Moore’s scathing critique of the Bush administration, Fahrenheit 9/11, is still the highest-grossing documentary of all time after it earned $222m worldwide, it’s fair to say that there’s an insatiable demand for his work.
As you may know, Moore has previously released a one man show about Trump, Michael Moore in TrumpLand, and the Oscar winner was always likely to refocus on the US president.
Well, if you’re a fan of Moore’s work then you’ll be happy to know that Harvey Weinstein, who produced Moore’s controversial documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, has acquired the rights to Moore’s new feature Fahrenheit 11/9, a reference to the day that Trump became president-elect of the United States.
“There is no greater part of what we can do right now than to have the power to bring Michael Moore to a mass audience,” Weinstein said in a statement. He went on to say: “This movie will have one of the most innovative distribution plans ever. Now more than ever, Michael’s appetite for the truth is crucial. We are ecstatic to be a part of this revolution.”
“No matter what you throw at him, it hasn’t worked,” says Moore. “No matter what is revealed, he remains standing. Facts, reality, brains cannot defeat him. Even when he commits a self-inflicted wound, he gets up the next morning and keeps going and tweeting. That all ends with this movie,” Moore said.
If it’s half as good as Fahrenheit 9/11, we’re in for a real treat.
