Edward Norton (upcoming The Incredibe Hulk) and his Class 5 Films are preparing to shop a feature documentary about the historic presidential campaign mounted by Sen. Barack Obama, says Variety. Here's a clip:

Class 5 has engaged Endeavor partner Ari Emanuel and lawyer Andrew Hurwitz to make a distribution deal for a film the company is producing for release in 2009. Doc has financing in place from Good, Green Film Co. and Citi Prods.

Amy Rice and Alicia Sams are directing the as-yet-untitled pic. They began shooting footage before Obama’s declaration of candidacy to become the Democratic Party’s 2008 presidential nominee. Emanuel, who guided the sales of Sacha Baron Cohen’s pseudo-docs "Borat" and "Bruno," and the Michael Moore docs "Sicko" and "Fahrenheit 9/11," has been an outspoken supporter of Obama. The brother of Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) has organized meet-and-greets in Hollywood and hosted fund-raisers for Obama. Norton, a longtime Endeavor client, has also been a supporter, reportedly donating to Obama’s campaigns.

Pretty amusing how liberals have taken over the documentary genre and in some cases churned out blatant fiction like the recent Jimmy Carter doc and ANYTHING done by Michael Moore.

Well considering that the conservatives have the entire Fox network I'd say that makes them pretty much even

pretty pathetic. Obama is a fool and he's going to run this country into the ground worse than Bush EVER can. And all because of his black bethren who only voted him because he is black. I bet they don't even know he's HALF black.

Never thought I'd see a political debate on a movie website, well here's my 2 cents. Everyone running sucks and Obama is the biggest hoax I've ever seen.

I love it when someone goes "those liberals this, those liberals that" when freakin' republicans are no better, and sometimes worst off. Aren't they doing a great job right now? Hmmm. Is it me, or people are just sheep, just typing ignorant things? I don't know.
