First look: Michael Moore goes after Wall Street in next film
Source: USA Today

Michael Moore wants his money back. Actually, he wants your money back, if you lost any in the financial meltdown.

And though he knows that probably won't happen, the filmmaker at least wants to stick it to the people who took it.

The still untitled film, which opens Oct. 2, will zero in on the corporations and politicians he says caused the global financial crash.

Wall Street robber barons are Moore's new on-screen enemy.

"The movie is not going to be an economics lesson; it's going to be more like a vampire movie," the filmmaker jokes. "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."

11. They've managed to do that, themselves.
This is like closing the barn door after the horse escapes.

6. It was watching the Bushes and Kennedys...
... that made me come to realize what a bad idea not having a rather large estate tax was.
