Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Documentary, Upcoming Releases,

Michael MooreIs looking to broaden his audience?

Less than three months before the debut of his new project, the director has finally chosen a name. His project about the global financial crisis will now be known as Capitalism: A Love Story.

“It will be the perfect date movie. It’s got it all—lust, passion, romance, and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day,” Michael explained in a statement. “It’s a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name.  Heck, let’s just say it: It’s capitalism.”

Capitalism will open in theaters on October 2nd. You can watch a teaser trailer here.

Whatever your feelings about are, there’s one thing that cannot be denied: He knows how to get people talking.

To promote his as-yet-untitled project, the director chose to make the direct approach. Why simply comment on the economy when you can fundraise to help save it?

The financial documentary will premiere on October 2.

Michael Moore Financial Documentary to Premiere This Fall

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Documentary, Political, Upcoming Releases,

Michael MooreWe might now know what the economy will be doing four months now, but there is one thing we can count on: Michael Moore commenting on it all.

It still doesn’t have a name, but it does now have a release date. Moore’s new documentary about the global financial crisis will premiere on October 2. Those keeping a close eye on the markets might realize the significance of that date. On October 1, 2008, the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street was approved.

A statement released by Moore gives us an idea of what we should expect. “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. Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie.”

Michael Moore Shifts Focus to Economy

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Documentary, Political, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,

Michael MooreWhat a difference a few months make.

Not surprisingly, the state of the economy has many people changing their plans these days…and that includes filmmaker Michael Moore. Earlier this summer, Paramount Vantage said the director would be producing a follow-up to 2004’s Fahrenheit 9/11. The movie, which was to have picked up chronologically where the last documentary left off, was originally supposed to tackle “what’s going on in the world, and America’s place in it.” Now it appears the sequel may get a slight shift in tone.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Michael’s project may now move from foreign policy to the financial crisis at home and abroad. That’s a subject matter that could dramatically change for Americans by the time the film is actually released. (It’s projected to debut in the spring.) It’s also a topic that some fear may be too pessimistic during an era of change. (Isn’t life supposed to get better during Barack’s time in office?)

But what Moore ultimately does with his currently-untitled film is still really anyone’s guess. I suppose it will just all depend on how our country is faring in the next few months…

MIchael Moore Offers Free Online Film

Slacker Uprising

Starting September 23, director will be giving fans a rare treat: a free look at his latest project. This move, which will happen purposefully before the presidential election, comes four years after the controversial Fahrenheit 9/11 was released.

In Slacker Uprising, cameras follow Moore during a 2004 tour. The filmmaker hit 62 different cities that year in hopes of inspiring young adults to vote. (A trailer for the documentary can be seen after the jump.)

Although he originally intended to release Slacker in theaters, Moore - who doesn’t expect to profit from the release - wanted a way to celebrate Roger & Me‘s upcoming anniversary. (That film debuted in 1989.) “This is being done entirely as a gift to my fans. The only return any of us are hoping for is the largest turnout of young voters ever at the polls in November, ” Moore states on his website.
