Michael Moore’s documentary about the collapse of the global economy will hit theatres Oct. 2, the film’s distributors announced Thursday.
According to Overture and Paramount Vintage, the still-untitled documentary will explore the “root causes of the economic meltdown,” as well as “take a comical look at the corporate and political shenanigans” that resulted in the financial meltdown.
“The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn’t have enough wealth,” Moore said in a statement. “So they systematically set out to fleece the American people.”
A documentary with the tentative title of “Saving Amy” focusing on singer Amy Winehouse is currently in the works according to MTV News.
Israeli-American interviewer Daphne Barak is profiling Winehouse for the project that will likely be released later this year according to the singer’s MySpace page.
“Amy and her family will be the subject of a new documentary later this year,” reads the MySpace blog. “[Barak's] subjects over the years have included celebrities, royalty, world leaders and international personalities. The journalist spent time with Amy and her family recently on St. Lucia, and in true honest to goodness Amy style, the doc will be a truthful and revealing look at her complicated life.”
Since the start of her career, Britney Spears has gone from beloved to bizarre – and possibly back again.
She’s tried her hand at reality television once with her former husband Kevin Federline, in a strange mini-series called “Chaotic”, but this time, Britney is partnering with MTV for a 90-minute documentary, tentatively titled “For the Record”. The doc will cover her return to the music and media spotlight, and Spears said in a statement that it will provide an opportunity to set the record straight about what she has been through, and what she plans to do.
The documentary is set to air on MTV November 30 at 10 p.m.
