Michael Moore's career change
Monday, 3 August 2009
Michael Moore is to stop making documentaries.
The filmmaker - whose feature-length projects include 'Fahrenheit 9/11', which looked at events leading to the Iraq war, 'Sicko', which examined US healthcare, and school shooting investigation 'Bowling For Columbine' - wants to turn his attention back to fictional movies after the release of 'Capitalism: A Love Story' later this year.
He said: "I've been thinking that maybe this will be my last documentary - or maybe for a while.
"I have been working on two screenplays over the last couple of years. One's a comedy, one's a mystery, and I really want to do this."
Despite wanting to try his hand at something new, Michael remains proud of his work and views his latest documentary as his most important project so far.
He added to the Detroit News newspaper: "I thought, why don't I just go for it and go right to the source of the problem -- an economic system that is unfair, it's unjust and it's not democratic. And now we've learned it doesn't work.
"This issue informs all my other movies. I started thinking if I can only make one more movie -- I started thinking this of course during the Bush years -- what would that movie be? And this is the movie."
