    Where In the World is This Movie? (We Want to See It Now!)

    Morgan Spurlock, the renegade documentarian who grew to fame with his biting "Super Size Me," is making waves again with his new movie that's going to premiere at Sundance next month.

    "Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?" has the filmmaker searching high and low for the infamous terrorist, most likely filmed in the same whimsical style we've seen in "Super" and in Spurlock's wonderful documentary series on FX, "30 Days."

    The question everyone has on their minds is did Spurlock (pictured in a publicity photo from his show) actually pull off what the government could not do in six years - find the architect of the 9/11 attacks for an interview. And if so, did he pull out a super-spy version of an AK-47 and blow a whole through bin Laden's head before narrowly escaping like John McClane?

    According to MSNBC, Spurlock showed off about 15 minutes of his film in February, and it immediately started a bidding war that ultimately the Weinstein Co. won.

    No doubt it will be a hot topic and buzz-worthy film this festival.
