Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore interviewed Nick Berg, the American contractor beheaded in Iraq (news - web sites), for his latest film and has offered to show the footage to Berg's family before he would release it, a family spokesman said on Friday.

Bruce Hauser, the spokesman and Bergs' neighbor in West Chester, Pennsylvania, said Moore called him to confirm reports that the footage existed and that Moore wanted to send a copy to the Bergs for their approval before its release.

The clip was made during the filming of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Moore's new movie attacking the Bush administration, which won this year's Palme d'Or, the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Berg interview was not used in the film.

"I was very surprised to hear from him," the family spokesman said of Moore.

"He said, 'Yes, there is such a video,' and if they are OK with it, then he will go ahead and release it," he said.

Keep it up.

But this Berg stuff is getting weirder and weirder.
