Good news: Paramount talking with director about “An Inconvenient Truth 2″

At this rate, in a few years high-school curricula will consist entirely of Al Gore movies.
Yes folks, An Inconvenient Truth Part 2 is on the way. It doesn’t mention whether former presidential candidate (and, many would argue, rightful winner) Al Gore will be involved again, but I would imagine he’d have to be. According to the Truth’s director, Davis Guggenheim, “I’m meeting with Paramount next week to talk about a sequel to Inconvenient Truth. Too early to talk about details.” Considering the extremely low-key nature of the original, it was churned out in a mere five months, and that quick turnaround could mean we’ll see the sequel in time for the 2008 presidential election.
Wasn’t the first one about the apocalyptic consequences if man continues to pursue the folly of driving SUVs? What’s left for the sequel, some sort of Mad Max scenario where the Goracle battles mutants weaned on genetically modified food?

Good – this brings them one step closer to self-parody (although they’ve already achieved that in the eyes of some of us).

I love this picture of Gore…it looks like he’s projectile vomiting without the actual chunks.
(Sorry…was that too graphic?)
flipflop on May 24, 2007 at 3:36 PM
So will they just drop all the global warming stuff this time and make it 100% campaign commercial? Oh, oh, and will they actually feature scientists in the movie this time around?? Or will that be redundant since Al Gore is going to be anointed a PhD or whatever? I can hardly wait. For the Norwegian government to mandate that the sequel be watched by all the high schools across the nation like the original.
A science movie without scientists, what’s not to like?

That is it! I’m buying Soylent Green stock. Thanks Al.

I certainly understand why An “Inconvenient Truth 2” is needed. The weather is not cooperating, the planet is not warming, thus the need for a completely revised set of lies. I’m sure the new version will stress “climate change” not “warming”.
I’m sure we will learn that if yesterday was sunny and today was cloudy, that’s all the proof you need that the world is coming to an end and the only answer is to send money. Get your carbon offsets here, buy now and get one free, operators are standing by.

I somehow suspect “Convenient Lies II” will be a rehash of “Fahrenheit 9/11″.

His first movie made only one-third the money as “Madea’s Family Reunion.” Maybe if AlGore does the movie in drag and blackface he can put more butts in the seats.
Little Man, starring the Wayans guys pretending to be a midget pulled in 58 Million bucks. Al Gore’s movie? Only 23 Million. This means that if Global warming were black, smoked a cigar and dressed in baby clothes, twice as many people would be interested.

the right needs to get behind, “Indoctrinate U” and push for a wide release. Every College Republican group needs to schedule screenings on campus, all over the country.

Jp, totally. I wanna see it in a big way.
Bad Candy on May 24, 2007 at 4:15 PM
That’s great, kids in our country get indoctrinated with global warming non-issues, and the kids in militant muslim countries get fake Mickey Mouse teaching them to kill us.

There’s going to be scene in IT2 where Algore sez …
“Once, when I was at Offsets Camp, Bill told me to stick …”
doufree on May 24, 2007 at 4:20 PM
I have a hunch that they’ll go back to the recording studio and overdub every time Al says “feet” with “inches”.
