Morgan ("Super Size Me") Spurlock's SECRET New Film about Hunt for BinLaden
http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=features2007&content=jump&jump=story&dept=berlin&nav=NBerlin&articleid=VR1117959195&cs=1

The Weinstein Company has picked up North American rights to Morgan Spurlock's top-secret new project.

Spurlock, the filmmaker who fed the world "Super Size Me," is making a movie about the hunt for Osama bin-Laden. Little is known about the pic, though insiders say it's apparently comic in tone.

-snipped-

About 50 acquisitions execs queued up to enter the theater, and were presented with a draconian nondisclosure agreement to sign before they were allowed to set foot inside.

"Basically, it said they are going to kill me, my company and my family if I say anything at all about this," said one usually forthcoming U.S. buyer with a shiver that wasn't due to the icy Berlin wind.

9. Maybe he really meant to say, "the SEAhunt for Osama bin Laden?"
Maybe its about tracking OBL down to give him a DVD of old "Seahunt" episodes?



Or maybe "HUNT for Red October?" Maybe its about that movie?



OBL probably doesn't get around much considering he needs dialysis, so maybe these are for his DVD machine. That's about all I can come up with...OBL is certainly not be hunted by GWB

Sorry, this is all I can think of about the "hunt" for OBL...:shrug:

take over the hunt!

4. I was hoping more filmmakers would follow Michael Moore's lead
A well made political documentary, even a funny one, can make lots of money and can change the world.
