Has Spurlock Found Osama?

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Tuesday, December 04, 2007 3:27 PM

This is outside our usual wheelhouse of videogames, technology and super-hero movies, but it's such an interesting story, we have to share it with you.

There is a rumor that documentary film-maker Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) has actually found Osama Bin Laden.

Here's the (admittedly scant) evidence: In the director's latest documentary, Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden, Spurlock travels the Middle East in search of public enemy number one. At a recent industry screening, reportedly, studio heads and other big-time Hollywood types signed iron clad "We won't tell anyone!" agreements. The Weinstein Co bought the movie after watching only 15 minutes of footage.

So far, everyone has been very, very quiet about Spurlock's film... except the film’s director of photography, Daniel Marricone, who told the press that Spurlock “definitely got the holy grail.”

Weird...eh?

We'll know what Holy Grail Marricone is talking about at this year's Sundance film festival in January.

Well if he did find him, and the footage is real, you can be he'll be slapped with the Enemy Combatant label and will never be seen again.

Or Osama is already dead. CONSPIRACY!

Bush is Osama in disguise. You ever see "Face/Off"? It's sorta like that.

He mine as well turn him in as he'll make more money from the bounty on Osama's head than from the movie. In fact if he makes the movie about him catching osama, he'd be set for life

If he did find him I hope the gov't actually uses his video to cath the bastard.

Oh, wait the election is NEXT year. They'll wait till then.

That would be sweet if after the red carpet premiere of the movie Spurlock carries out the corpse (over his head) of Osama and hurls him into the crowd!! With Conan music playing in the background!!

That would be sweet.

You would think the Govmnt would aquire the film and capture Osama.... something just doesn't sound right about this.

Isn't his bounty like 100 billion or something insane?

wait... per the fbi website

The Rewards For Justice Program, United States Department of State, is offering a reward of up to $25 million for information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Usama Bin Laden. An additional $2 million is being offered through a program developed and funded by the Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association.

27 million.... the movie would make more money... you would think all of those lives would be worth more than what Will Smith makes in a single film.

25 million and a extra 2. OK here it is - The plan, McDonolds eating basterd catch him and turn him in and share the money with me and TKEmysterio!

Posted by play3rtwo - Wednesday, December 5, 2007 7:02 AM

Hell, if I knew where he was, i'd nap him for free, as long as they let me do whatever I wanted to him (rough him up a little bit and shove old glory up his ass).

I would love to have the money, don't get me wrong, but I lost a friend up in NY during that... no amount of money will bring them back, but I know she'd chuckle seeing Bin Laden with the flag protruding from his ass.

if he found bin laden and does not turn him in does that make spurlok a enemy of the country and make him guilty of harbouring a fugitive

Posted by Narocue - Wednesday, December 5, 2007 10:16 AM

IF he actaully found him, and didnt attempt to rid the world of him, hes a real piece of siht ... or just a liberal.

if a documentary filmmaker can find osama bin laden and the us gov't cant what does that tell you about the pentagon?
