First look: Michael Moore goes after Wall Street in next film

By Anthony Breznican / USA Today


Michael Moore wants his money back. Actually, he wants your money back, if you lost any in the financial meltdown.

And though he knows that probably won't happen, the filmmaker at least wants to stick it to the people who took it.

The still untitled film, which opens Oct. 2, will zero in on the corporations and politicians he says caused the global financial crash.

Wall Street robber barons are Moore's new on-screen enemy.

"The movie is not going to be an economics lesson; it's going to be more like a vampire movie," the filmmaker jokes. "Instead of the main characters feasting on the blood of their victims, they feast on the money. And they never seem to get enough of it."

When the collapse walloped the country last September, Moore says he knew not only that it would matter to regular people, but also that the inherent decadence was ripe for his style of satire. ............(more)

1. Good for him

I'm always impressed with Michael Moore's documentaries. I'm sure it'll give everyone a better understanding of just what happened.

2. Wonder if he'll be ignored by the MSM when its released, or whether he'll be invited

on every Today show etc to be skewered as the devil himself, as he usually is every time he comes out with a new movie. I've always figured the hatred for him that I've always witnessed from these "journalists" stems from the fact that somewhere, not so far below the surface, they know damn well that his very existence, and of the films he makes, exposes them for being the sell-out frauds they are, and that he's the real journalist among them. If they don't "interview " him in an angry, accusatory way, it just validates that he's done the job they were supposed to.

3. I am really looking forward to this movie.

4. Does the Fed have it? Maybe they cannot give it back.

We have to buy raw materials with the same money that we use to pay back our overseas creditors and pay our taxes and keep our ultra-rich in new money making ventures.

If the Fed gives it back, prices will rise faster than the ultra-rich can unload it on cheap properties.

That simply won't do.

5. I can't wait to see this....

Moore makes good documentary's, Sicko was great I hope this one is just as good or better.

6. I love Michael Moore.

My only criticism of him is that his movies are always advertised as comedies, yet I cry during everyone of them.
