Michigan native Michael Moore is planning a follow-up film to his 2004 documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

Although the film’s details are being kept under wraps, the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Moore plans to pick up where he left off four years ago, to examine the fallout from eight years of the Bush administration’s policies.

The Times story, which has been posted on Moore’s official website, says the Flint area resident is beginning production on the documentary “immediately,” although he is expected to attend the Cannes Film Festival to support the project and promote it to buyers at the market on Friday.

The French festival has always welcomed the man who brought us “Roger and Me”. In 2004 he became the first documentary filmmaker in almost 50 years to win the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme D’Or Award for “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

Moore’s 2007 look at Health Care, “Sicko,” was warmly received at Cannes last year. The French healthcare system was prominently featured in that film, which was not nearly as popular in U.S. theaters as previous films from Moore.

Fahrenheit 9/11, is the only documentary ever to top $100 million at the US box office and producers are hoping the sequel will be every bit as popular..

Paramount Vantage is co-financing the movie with Overture Films.

Danny Rosset, chief operating officer at Overture, told the Associated Press the movie will be scheduled for release domestically in early 2009, just after President Bush leaves office.

Overture will release the film in the United States, while Paramount Vantage is handling overseas distribution. Paramount Vantage is shopping the film around to international buyers at Cannes, which began its 12-day run Wednesday.
