    Did Spurlock Find bin Laden?

    Director of the hit 2004 documentary Super Size Me, Morgan Spurlock might be in line for a $25 million dollar reward for finding Osama bin Laden. Or not.

    No one knows for sure what the director shot on his extensive tour of the Middle East, but whatever it was, The Weinstein Co. bought it after watching just 15 minutes of the documentary Where in the World is Osama bin Laden at the Berlin Film Festival.

    From /Film:
    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." Not much information has leaked about the film, and even the director is keeping quiet. When asked if the rumors [are true], Spurlock would only say "Until there's something to see, why talk about it?"

    (more)
    In March at the South by Southwest festival, a reporter asked the director if he found Osama bin Laden (video here). Spurlock coyly told the reporter to wait and see the film.

    Live Video has the trailer of Spurlock's next production, a documentary about consumerism and Christmas directed by Rob VanAlkemade, called What Would Jesus Buy?

    There's no word yet on when bin Laden's movie about Spurlock will come out.
