NORTON PRODUCES OBAMA DOCUMENTARY
Actor EDWARD NORTON has produced a documentary chronicling America’s next President BARACK OBAMA’s path to the White House.
The Fight Club star’s production company Class 5 Films has closed a deal with bosses at American network HBO, who plan to air the finished programme early in 2009.
Norton reportedly approached the Obama campaign in 2006 to document his entrance into the world of politics. Directors Alicia Sams and Amy Rice filmed extensive footage of the Obama in his role as Illinois’ senator and continued to shoot the politician as he kicked off his presidential campaign in 2007.
Norton tells the Hollywood Reporter, "Senator Obama’s history-making race for the White House has given our film a perfect framework to explore the pulse of the country at this vital moment in our history."
