So Much for 'Under Wraps,' Michael Moore

Yesterday, in a joint press release from Paramount Vantage and Overture Films, a production deal for the next Michael Moore documentary was announced. The release called the film "a searing and provocative follow-up to his groundbreaking 2004 documentary 'Fahrenheit 9/11.'" But it seems I missed that little point – probably due to the following line from the same press release: "As with all of Moore's projects, the subject matter of the new film is being kept under wraps by all the principals."
OK, I guess I took that "under wraps" line too seriously – how "under wraps" could the subject matter be if the documentary is a "follow up" to "Fahrenheit 9/11?" So to clarify – Michael Moore is making another Bush-slamming documentary, but this time there will be none of that "Miramax won't release my movie" bitching. Paramount and Overture are releasing the doc and seem to have no qualms about the subject matter – probably because, four years later, George Bush AND his war are incredibly unpopular. Way to take a risk!
Department of defensive clarifications here.
