Whatever Happened To Michael Moore?.....

[global1]

He had a string of excellent documentaries. He won awards for them. He had a great track record. What silenced him? I haven't heard about him in a long time. Has he retired from the movie making business? Is he working on a new documentary? Does anyone here know?

1. I heard reports of some nasty litigation,

other reports of ill health,
and still others of something weird.

Good question. I have no idea.

3. From his website.

What's your next movie about?

It's my policy not to discuss my projects until I release them publicly. You can probably imagine why I have to do it this way. All I'll say is, I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

Here's his website.

He is also getting his theater and film festival off the ground. He was heavily involved in the "American Sniper" broohaha and walked back some of his statements. His theater showed the film.

5. His website indicates he's working on a new film. He says we "won't be disappointed" . . .

A simple Google search also brought up that he divorced his wife last year after 23 years of marriage. That sort of situation can wreck havoc with a person's life, so it's not surprising he hasn't been doing much lately.

7. A better question for me is what happened to Al Gore

He is a person who showed so much promise in the political realm and now no where to be seen or heard.

8. I think he is a victim of corporate media takeovers

I don't think the studios would allow another Fahrenheit 9/11. Hollywood is totally wingnutty now, except on gay marriage.

11. Good Lord, he's working on a film, running an important film festival and was very recently all over

the news with criticism of 'American Sniper'. He is by far the most successful documentary maker of all time, a man whose work utterly altered the market and potential for the form.

12. As others have pointed out, he's still busy

I also seem to recall that at the end of "Capitalism: A Love Story" he was feeling burned out from exposing all that he had exposed over the years with none of it seeming to instigate any significant change.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I think he said something like that near the end.

14. Yes, he did.I've been looking everywhere for what he said.

He has stayed active and very involved in Flint and with vets.

15. Fair question, I also wondered about him & films particularly. Knew he was in a complex divorce

situation, saw him on Bill Maher but that was almost 2 years ago. Didn't realize he was working more on his theater & film festival. Michigan friends have attended the festival for years. Hope he continues producing films for the sake of public awareness, Heaven knows there's no other equivalent. (Raising an issue w/o necessarily knowing the answer is OK & valid for discussion, except perhaps for those who use the internets, google & twitter for most knowledge).
