Parkersburg native (but raised in Beckley) Morgan Spurlock's next film is titled "Where in the world is Osama bin Laden?" The director of the documentary "Super Size Me" may have done something that George W. Bush said he didn't put much thought into doing. The rumor in the film industry is Spurlock may have found Osama bin Laden.
I was at Sundance in 2004 when Morgan Spurlock took over the festival with his documentary Super Size Me. Four years later, Spurlock returns to Park City with Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?, a film documenting the director's search for the most wanted man on the planet. The Weinstein Co quickly snapped up the documentary, after seeing only 15 minutes at the Berlin Film Festival. Distributors who saw the footage were asked to sign draconian nondisclosure agreements.
Many people are speculating that Spurlock may have done what the U.S. government has been unable to do, and actually found Bin Laden. The film's director of photography, Daniel Marricone added fuel to the fire, telling the press that Spurlock "definitely got the holy grail."
