Michael Moore has started work on a follow-up to his 2004 documentary 'Fahrenheit 9/11'.
The financers of the film have said that it will be "a searing and provocative follow-up" to 'Fahrenheit 9/11'".
Danny Rosett, CEO of Overture Films, one of the studios involved, said that Moore "intends to examine how America's role in the world has changed over the last eight years".
Moore chose a spring 2009 release date because it was after the US presidential election, with Rosett saying that the director did not want the film to be seen as a "politically motivated piece".
"That's why I think he felt strongly about not having it come out before the elections," Rosett told Reuters.
It is reported that the film will feature Moore and, like his previous works, will mix humour with archival footage and research.
