Everyone expects much of Hollywood to do what it can to get Barack Obama reelected this November.
As Bloomberg reported Saturday, Academy Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim – he of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” infamy – has been hired by the current White House resident to make another campaign film about him (photo courtesy Time.com):
Obama’s re-election staff in Chicago spent $162,834 on the film last month, according to the January Federal Election Commission filing. Currently in post-production, the film focuses on the president’s first three years in office, according to a campaign official.
In 2008, the filmmaker directed a biographical film about Obama for the Democratic National Convention. He also was involved in a 30-minute advertisement that the campaign ran on three major broadcast networks in the closing days before the election at a cost of more than $3 million.
Let’s hope this is more factually accurate than Guggenheim’s pathetic collaboration with Gore which had more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
Don’t hold your breath.
