A Convenient Truth? Oscar-winner could be filming Obama

By GottaLaff


It's possible that an Oscar-winning director is shooting Barack Obama's biopic for the Big Democratic Convention:

Obama entered the mansion at 5:45. He reemerged at 6:43, with a stylish filmmaker in tow and a crew carrying a film camera, not a small digital camera.

Obama's traveling press aides still maintain that nothing is abnormal, but the filmmaker is Davis Guggenheim, the Academy Award-winning director of "An Inconvenient Truth." His father, Academy Award winner Charles Guggenheim, chronicled John F. Kennedy. [...]

Davis Guggenheim spoke briefly to a handful of reporters before realizing he shouldn't be. He then said he was merely traveling with his son in Montana and doing some interviews. All that is left is rank speculation -- that Guggenheim appears to be making the biopic for the convention.

He did a beautiful job on An Inconvenient Truth, but in this case, it doesn't take much to make Obama look beautiful. He's already there.

If Guggenheim is really shooting Obama's biopic, it will be stunning. Now I'm on pins and needles.
