Michael Moore: 'I'm making a vampire movie'

Michael Moore has reportedly insisted that his new documentary will be less of an "economics lesson" and more of a "vampire movie".

The Oscar-winning filmmaker has said that although many have disagreed with his views, all he can hope for is a call-to-action response from his audience.

Moore told USA Today: "The movie is not going to be an economics lesson - it’s going to be more like a vampire movie.

"Instead of the main characters feasting on the blood of their victims, they feast on the money. And they never seem to get enough of it."

He added: "If you go to see my movies, even if you don’t agree with everything in the movies, you’re going to have a good laugh.

"I want them to walk out at the end saying, 'Wow, that was something!' And in this case, maybe they also walk out asking the ushers, 'Um, excuse me. Where are the pitchforks and torches?'"

Moore's as-yet-untitled film is reportedly scheduled for an October 2 release for US cinemas.
