Has Morgan Spurlock Found Osama Bin Laden?
If Michael Moore is America’s number one documentary filmmaker, then after releasing Super Size Me Morgan Spurlock definitely became number 2. Except while Moore makes more point of view movies, Spurlock’s work is a lot closer to being what we think of when throwing around the word “documentary”.
His next project is by far, his riskiest yet. Spurlock has finished his new movie Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?, in which he sets out to do what the United States government has apparently failed to do: Find Osama Bin Laden. The Weinstein Company bought the thing after seeing only 15 minutes of it at the Berlin Film Festival, and here’s where it gets really interesting. Rumor has it that Spurlock actually found Osama Bin Laden.
The film’s director of photography told SlashFilm that Morgan “definitely got the holy grail.” Since the movie is about him hunting Osama, that would make him the holy grail… wouldn’t it? For now though, everyone around the production is keeping things locked down.
The film is supposed to debut in Park City at Sundance this year, and since tomorrow is the deadline for them to notify people who have received press credentials and I still haven’t heard anything, I guess I won’t be able to report back on it. I’m sure someone more important than us will. Whenever we all finally get around to seeing it, I can’t even begin to imagine the media madness this film will unleash if Morgan Spurlock actually found and hung out with Osama Bin Laden. It instantly raises a lot of important questions like... if mustachioed Morgan Spurlock can find him, don’t you have to assume the US government isn’t even trying?

I thoroughly enjoyed "Supersize me" so this will ,in the least, be interesting. Did he find him hanging out at the CIA under his code name Tim Osmond (Osama's assigned name when he was an asset for them in the 70's and 80's)? Or did he find the fat Osama that confessed to 9/11( debunked as a fake)? Or did he find his grave (numerous rumors of his death)? Either way I hope it leads to more pressure for a new investigation regarding the crimes of that fateful day when, according to the official conspiracy theory, 19 muslims (mostly Saudis)and a cleric with a laptop in a cave were able to fool our 40 billion dollar defense industry without any help from the inside.
The things that make you go hmm....
