This is why the Oscar-winning film-maker has begun work on a sequel of his 2004 political documentary, announcing he would release the new film next year, producers said Tuesday, according to Reuters.

The movie, which has not yet been titled, is going to be co-financed and distributed by two small studios: Overture Films and Paramount Vantage, an art-house label of Viacom Inc’s Paramount Pictures.

Renowned for choosing controversial topics for his films and always asking unpleasant questions, Moore is now planning to depict, in his new documentary, America’s position in the world in the years that passed since the September 11 terrorist attacks.  Moore said he started working on the film in the recent months.

“Fahrenheit 9/11” was a both tragic and funny critique of American President George W. Bush and his administration, earning more than $100 million at the box-office and becoming the most commercially successful political documentary of all time. The film won Cannes Film Festival's Palme D'Or in 2004.

"That movie was about a moment in time, a specific moment," said Nick Meyer, president of Paramount Vantage, according to the Associated Press."We don't view this movie as bashing anyone. I think it's going to take a look at where America is right now in relation to the world. It's not going to be about the issue of the war. It's about where we are and what our role is."

Moore is expected at the Cannes Film Festival this year, to support and promote his new project. Moore said he hoped to finish the film just in time for next year’s Cannes festival. He also announced the film would be released after President Bush left office.
