A ‘SiCKO’ Summer
What is sure to be another blockbusting documentary from Michael Moore, “SiCKO,” his take on the state of the healthcare industry in America, is scheduled to be in theaters this summer.
Moore’s Web site, Michael Moore.com, delivered the news along with the announcement that “SiCKO” will be shown in the main program of Cannes Film Festival, May 16 to May 27.
His last film, “Farenheit 9/11,” won the top prize at the festival in 2004 and went on to make more than $119 million in American theaters and $103 million internationally, while it only cost $6 million to produce the documentary, according to boxofficemojo.com.
“I’m honored to be asked again to come to Cannes,” Moore says on his Web site. “It’s been a good luck charm for us and the perfect place to present our work to the rest of the world. I’m hoping that this film will have the impact I think it will have.”
