Wondering what Michael Moore has been up to since he made cinematic history with Fahrenheit 9/11? If all goes well, you'll find out this fall.
Moore, ever the relentless documentarian, has been busy aiming cameras at his next target — the American health care industry. If the gossip is true, pharmaceutical executives will not be lining up to see this one. Rumor has it that Moore planted hidden cameras in doctors' offices around the country to demonstrate the nasty ways in which pharmaceutical sales reps push their wares. He was last seen in Miami shooting at a weight-loss clinic.
Bob and Harvey Weinstein have picked up the film, which should be in theaters this September. The brothers expect “Sicko” to generate $40 million in box office revenue.

The Weinstein bros. are being quiet about this one, but it looks like Moore will deliver this year. I almost fell out of my chair when I learned about the subject – it’s so overdue!
