What's Moore up to this time?


Could it be another election season dominated by Michael Moore?
Filmmaker appears to be greasing the wheels for a hush-hush project called "The Great '04 Slacker Uprising," screening portions of the work for the first time at the Toronto Film Festival next month.

Little is known about the pic, for which the director shot his 60-city student tour to college campuses and other venues ahead of the 2004 presidential election, documenting what fest literature calls the "the birth of a new political generation."

While there had been rumors that some of the events were filmed, there'd no word of an actual pic. Festival calls "Uprising" a work-in-progress, and a fest blog goes further and describes it as a "scrappy road trip movie."

Word of the appearance has raised the possibility that, like "Fahrenheit 9/11," movie could be a late entry to theaters with the aim of swaying sentiment before elections.

Either way, after months of quiet, the Michael Moore industry --supporters and detractors equally dependent on the filmmaker's outspokenness -- are back in business.
