Edward Norton’s Obama Documentary
Fight Club star Edward Norton and his Class 5 production group have spent the last two years following new US President-Elect Barack Obama, filming his historic journey to becoming the first black president of the USA.
Norton and his directors began shooting footage prior to Obama’s declaration of candidacy to become the Democratic Party’s 2008 presidential nominee.
Speaking out on the motivation behind the film, Norton said the documentary’s aim is not to glorify its subject, but rather to make a ‘historical record, and not something to play a role in the election.’ Something which he gave substance to by agreeing to keep the lid on the project until after the election had ended.via current.
Ooh, I got to say, I have some insight into this project, but definitely nothing I can blog about! A friend of mine is producing the film! It’s going to be amazing!
