Sony Picks Up Edward Norton's Barack-umentary

DateWednesday, April 8, 2009 at 5:20AM
Last year, Edward Norton helped assemble a documentary about Barack Obama's campaign for the White House. That film, By the People: The Election of Barack Obama, will air on HBO, and Sony Pictures has acquired international media rights for the documentary, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Norton produced the film and is kind of the face of the project; Amy Rice and Alicia Sams did most of the work on the ground. They're the directors of the ambitious project, which followed Obama from his days as a senator announcing his bid for the highest office in the free world all the way up to the culmination of that journey last November.

"From the start, it was very important to us to share this film with as broad an international audience as possible, and we're really thrilled to be partnered with Sony in trying to achieve this," Norton said in a statement.

No release dates were announced, although sooner than later would help keep it relevant.
