Norton Plans Obama Documentary
It seems like most of the world has a crush on Obama (for more on that see here) and Edward Norton is no exception. The actor-writer-director-big green giant has revealed that his Class Five films are working on a documentary about US Presidental candidate Barack Obama, and have been for some time.
Norton told Variety that the project was sparked by the 2004 Democratic convention speech that first brought Obama to national prominence. "We were all so struck by Barack’s speech and talked about how exciting it was to see someone from our generation make his presence felt in such an inspiring way," Norton told Daily Variety. "It was akin to the way I remembered my dad describing how he felt when Kennedy gave his inauguration speech."
Production began before Obama began his presidential run in 2006, and will keep going until the campaign ends, one way or another. So don't expect to see this until 2009 at the earliest, but don't be surprised if the premiere takes place at the White House.
