Did the 'Super Size Me' Director Find Osama Bin Laden?

According to a news item on JustPressPlay.com, there are rumors floating around movie land that Morgan Spurlock, the director of Super Size Me, will be revealing something significant in his new documentary, Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?

The item reads: Earlier this year at the Berlin International Film Festival, Morgan Spurlock made waves because he unveiled 15 minutes of footage from his mysterious documentary about Osama Bin Laden that was only shown to about 50 potential studio buyers after they had signed confidentiality agreements.

After a bidding frenzy, the Weinsteins bought it, and since then there's been rampant speculation that Spurlock presents information about where Bin Laden is.


JustPressPlay says, "It sounds unlikely, but even if he did [find Bin Laden], I can imagine that the $25 million bounty is nothing compared to the amount he could sell this doc for (if he actually did find Osama)."

Whoa. If he actually did find Osama and killed him, yes, the movie will make a fortune and the indie filmmaker will be a national hero. But if Spurlock had actionable intelligence about the terrorist that he's withholding until the film's release? That would be something other than heroism.
