Morgan Spurlock is leaving the french fries behind and tackling an even more hazardous topic: Religion vs Science.
According to Variety, the documentary wizard has optioned the bestseller "The Republican War On Science" for his next flick. The book is written by Chris Mooney, and it explores, "the motivations behind the U.S. government's stances on scientific topics, stem-cell research, climate change, missile defense and sex education." Basically, Mooney feels that right-wingers in politics approach scientific research with conservative beliefs that negatively effect the environment, abortion, and other hot topics.
The book screams controversy, which shows why Spurlock (Super Size Me) was attracted to it. He is becoming like the new Michael Moore, except without making entire things up. In discussing his interest in the book, he says: "There was a time when science was respected by politicians and government officials and when the information obtained through unbiased scientific exploration was used for the better of society. Today, all of that is being ignored, manipulated and used incorrectly to further political agendas. We need the real answers to the big questions."
And who better to dig for them than Spurlock?
