While Davis Guggenheim directed An Inconvenient Truth, Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk are taking over helming duties for the sequel.
In a statement, Gore thanked Paramount and Participant Media for taking on the task of “bringing the critical story of the climate crisis to the world.”
A decade after the original documentary was released, it was announced today (via Deadline) that Paramount will debut An Inconvenient Truth 2 (not the official title) at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival’s opening night before moving on to a regular theatrical release later that same year.
In contrast to the first movie, which showed documentary footage to enhance a slide presentation Gore gave on climate change, this new documentary will follow former Vice President Gore “around the globe to tell a story of change in the making.”
