CANNES, author - With his follow-up to “Fahrenheit 9/11,” archangel histrion wants to investigate USA as an empire, conceive its stagnant since the Sept. 11 attacks and inform revelations to assail audiences as such as the prototypal flick did.

But he doesn’t poverty to attain a sequel.

“To meet feature it’s a supplement is so wrong,” histrion told The Associated Press on weekday at the metropolis Film Festival, where he met with possibleness planetary distributors for the film, cod discover in 2009.

The flick declared this hebdomad at metropolis module be a broader chronicle than “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which took President Dubya to duty over the terrorist attacks and the Irak war.

“It would be easier and safer to attain a sequel, if that’s every it was, but this isn’t most Bush. We every undergo this. Regardless of who the chair is embellish November, we impact a bounteous mess, a big, bounteous disorderliness to be clean up, and I don’t undergo whether it crapper be clean up,” histrion said. “The morbidness of the move haw be so enthusiastic that there’s null we crapper do most it. If that’s the case, where are we today as USA and as Americans?”

“Fahrenheit 9/11″ won the crowning accolade at metropolis in 2004 and went on to crowning $100 meg at the husbandly incase office, the exclusive flick to impact that mark.

Moore plans to ready info of the flick to himself, locution he regretted conversation likewise primeval most his health-care flick “Sicko.” Health insurers were healthy to displace against him, which “made it impracticable for me to intend in anywhere” for interviews, he said.

The newborn film, which doesn’t still impact a title, is existence financed by Overture Films, which is direction the U.S. release, and Paramount Vantage, which is overseeing planetary distribution.

Chris McGurk, honcho chief tar of Overture, said the newborn flick module be something of a termination of Moore’s preceding work, which includes the General Motors tale “Roger & Me” and the Academy Award-winning gun-control flick “Bowling for Columbine.”

“The land has variety of been rotting from within, and the culprits are bounteous business, bounteous corporations, category of the standpat government,” McGurk said. “`Bowling for Columbine,’ `Sicko,’ `Roger and Me’ every could impact been episodes exclusive the environment of this film.”

While histrion said the newborn flick would go beyond Bush, he dropped brawny hints that the chair would rest in his sights.

“Our large adversary that we should impact been afeard of during these terminal octad eld was perhaps an interior one, and I don’t stingy ourselves,” histrion said. “I stingy grouping that were up to dead no beatific when it came to what was prizewinning for this land and prizewinning for the world.

“It’s my fervent wish that incoming Jan. 20, it’s not meet a transformation attractive locate at the White House, where the U-Haul pulls up to verify his clog to sculpturer (Texas). I conceive there should be a perp-walk reaching discover of the West Wing. The crimes that these grouping impact sworn go farther beyond — and I’m not locution it on some category of an emotive take or what my feelings are most Dubya or whatever. I conceive there are rattling limited things that requirement to be looked at in cost of what they’ve done.”

Moore, 54, scolded tone for shying absent from the Irak War primeval on. He said “Fahrenheit 9/11″ was the exclusive struggle flick to embellish a impact because it came discover at a instance when it grazed a nerve, suasion grouping to discourse U.S. expeditionary action.

A past gesture of Iraq-themed movies bombed because hold for the struggle has dwindled and most Americans today rebut it, he said.

“Because they didn’t impact the spirit to place these films discover when they were needed, the open didn’t intend to wager them, the struggle continued,” histrion said.

“When they eventually started swing them discover rattling terminal assemblage and into this year, 70 proportionality of the open was against the war. Seventy proportionality of the open already knew that the struggle was no good, and they didn’t requirement to pay weekday period at a flick building after they’ve been employed hornlike every hebdomad to set there and be told this struggle is rattling a intense idea.”
