Did Morgan Spurlock find Bin Laden in new documentary?
I can see this getting moved to the political board at some point, but regardless - this thread is about his upcoming documentary and what is supposedly shown in it.
Source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22115291/ Did Morgan Spurlock find Osama bin Laden? 15 minutes of footage shown at film fest sparks bidding war, speculation MSNBC News Services updated 1:59 p.m. ET, Wed., Dec. 5, 2007 Rumors are flying that filmmaker Morgan Spurlock of "Super Size Me" fame may have done what the United States government has failed to do for the last six years — find Osama bin Laden. The speculation first began at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, where Spurlock showed a select group of potential buyers 15 minutes of footage from his new documentary, "Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?" The film follows Spurlock through the Middle East in his search for the elusive leader of al-Qaida. According to Slashfilm.com, The Weinstein Co. quickly snapped up the picture after seeing the clips. Adding to the belief, Daniel Marracino, the film's director of photography, is quoted in Variety, saying of the movie, "We've definitely got the Holy Grail." Whether this is just a genius publicity ploy or if Spurlock actually found bin Laden has yet to be revealed, but the answer should come next year, when the documentary is slated to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. Imagine what a slap in the face to the US Government this would be if he actually caught him on film. IMHO - I think it's a publicity stunt. |

I found a leaked screenshot of said footage:
Spoiler:
Seriously, what good is that footage now or even later when it is released other than saying he was, at some point, alive and visible. |
If he had found him, Spurlock's tape would be in government hands right now.
|
Much to Spurlock's horror, Bin Laden was photographed eating a Big Mac.

I heard he caught Osama spending 30 days with a family of Israeli Jews.

if morgan really did find bin laden and has a tape, can he be arrested for not reporting it to the government?

I just saw him at the LAX airport when I was coming home from Thanksgiving. I should have asked him.

No. You can only be compelled to testify or offer evidence if you are <i>actually</i> compelled by a court order or subpoena. Short of that, you can't get in trouble for simply not reporting something. Besides which, International law is extraordinarily dicey since most of it hasn't been written yet. El Presidente NumbNuts can stand in the press room and scream that Osama is wanted dead or alive until false patriotism starts oozing out of his ears, but it doesn't change the fact that he has no power to order you to do anything about it. ...yet, anyway :rolleyes: -Doc |
Spurlock couldn't find his head in his ass where it's permanently lodged so I doubt it.

Spurlock's new movie sounds like a ripoff of The September Tapes. |

Morgan Spurlock has a meth dealer mustache.
