Oscar-winning director Michael Moore will reunite with producer Harvey Weinstein for a documentary on the US President Donald Trump. The movie, which is named after the day Trump was declared President of the United States (November 9), will be sold internationally during Cannes film festival 2017.
This is not the first time that Weinstein and Moore are teaming up as he produced Moore's controversial George W Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The movie received a 20-minute standing ovation at the Cannes premiere in 2004. Not only that. The documentary which has grossed more than $200 million at the global box office, won the Palme d'Or in 2004. The movie also remained the highest-grossing documentary of all time.
Fahrenheit 11/9 has reportedly been in the production for months as Moore reunited with his team from Fahrenheit 9/11.
"No matter what you throw at him, it hasn't worked," Moore said. "No matter what is revealed, he remains standing. Facts, reality, brains cannot defeat him. Even when he commits a self-inflicted wound, he gets up the next morning and keeps going and tweeting. That all ends with this movie."
Producer Weinstein said in a statement, "There is no greater part of what we can do right now than to have the power to bring Michael Moore to a mass audience."
Talking about director Moore, he added, "This movie will have one of the most innovative distribution plans ever. Now more than ever, Michael's appetite for the truth is crucial. We are ecstatic to be a part of this revolution."
We guess Moore had planned for the Trump documentary a long time ago as he correctly predicted last June that Trump would win the White House by scoring the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
