A movie set to make its debut next month at a film festival may draw more than its share of attention because of an unusual plot element: the fictional killing of Microsoft Corp Chief Software Architect Bill Gates.
Gates, the world's richest man, is "killed" in the opening scene of Nothing So Strange, which will be shown at the Slamdance festival in Park City, Utah. The movie opens with Steve Sires, a professional Gates impersonator, being shot to death during a public appearance. The documentary-style scene is intended to appear as if it were videotaped by a bystander.
