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?

Can't wait to see the film. Who is are govt. kidding. They do not want to find Osama. I am sure Bush has some secret pact with the Saudis. With our technology it can not be that hard to find 1 person.

I hope the film does show Osama bin Lauden, it might open some people's eyes to the nonsense of this oil war in Iraq.

Google Earth can take a picture of a guy picking his nose in L.A. but the CIA can't locate a 6'6" Arab with a two foot beard and a dialysis machine.

He's always available for personal radio and TV appearances...just in time to save Bushco from some new embarrassing moment.

I wonder ... can you key what you want to see into Google Earth?
Lawd knows I've found all kinds of stuff with Google.
