Front Row nabs Spurlock's Bin Laden docu
By ALI JAAFAR

Morgan Spurlock's still-in-the-works docu about the search for Osama Bin Laden -- done apparently in a comic vein -- is proving a hotter ticket in the Mideast than even "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Dubai-based distrib Front Row, who also repped Michael Moore's Bush-bashing opus, has fought off strong competition from local rivals to land rights to release Spurlock's peculiar take on terrorism across the region. France's Wild Bunch was the sales agent.
