Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore is making a provocative follow-up to his 2004 political documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11.” The new untitled documentary, which will be released next year, was described as “a searing and provocative follow-up to his groundbreaking 2004 documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11’.” It will be co-financed and co-produced by Paramount Vantage and Overture Films, the companies announced on Tuesday.

Moore plans to take a closer look at the Unites States’ position as world power and to examine the fallout from eight years of the Bush administration's policies since the attacks of September 11, 2001, as the media reported.

The writer and director began work on the project in recent months and agreed to a spring 2009 commercial release, planning to launch the movie after this fall's U.S. presidential election, said Overture's chief operating officer, Danny Rosett, according to Reuters. “Fahrenheit 9/11” was a success, winning the coveted Palm d’Or at Cannes. The film was one of the top-grossing documentaries of all time, earning $119.1 million. It grossed another $100 million at the international box office.

One may add on the list of successful stories his Oscar winning 2002 documentary about America’s gun culture, entitled “Bowling for Columbine.” Michael Moore’s new documentary could play at Cannes next year.

“He intends to examine how America's role in the world has changed over the last eight years,” said Overture's chief operating officer, Danny Rosett. He said that Moore did not want the film to be seen as a “politically motivated piece.”

Moore is expected to attend the Cannes Film Festival to present the project, which may become a new global brand, and promote it to buyers at the market on Friday.
