Michael Moore's next film will be a follow-up to his controversial 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

The film, rumoured to be titled Fahrenheit 9/11½, will focus on the the ongoing war in Iraq, George W. Bush's approval rating decline and the economic recession.

Nick Meyer, President of Paramount Vantage, which will co-finance and distribute the film, said Moore is "one of the most inspiring, innovative and thought-provoking filmmakers of our generation".

"With his unquestionable mark on our culture and politics, Moore is renowned and iconic within the international marketplace and we could not be more enthusiastic about this partnership," Meyer added.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is the highest-grossing documentary of all time and the only one to cross the $100 million mark at the US box office.

Moore's other films include the Oscar-winning Bowling for Columbine and last year's Sicko.
