And the title for Michael Moore's next film is...

The official title of Michael Moore's upcoming documentary (check out the teaser trailer here) about the economic crisis is "Capitalism: A Love Story," distributor Ouverture Films announced Wednesday.

In the film, Moore focuses on the impact corporate dominance and out-of-control profit motives have on the the world. It also centers on the global financial meltdown and the Senate's decision to approve a gigantic bailout.

"It will be the perfect date movie," Moore said. "It's got it all - lust, passion, romance, and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let’s just say it: it’s capitalism.”

Ouverture will release the film domestically Oct. 2, 2009. Paramount Vantage will handle international distribution.

Moore recently directed "Slacker Uprising." His last theatrical release was "Sicko," which collected $24.5 million domestically but didn't generate as much hype as "Bowling for Columbine" or the overrated "Fahrenheit 9/11."
