Josh Brolin as George W. Bush

posted by

Nice little example of Josh Brolin playing George W. Bush taken from behind the scenes footage of the new Oliver Stone pic W.; followed by the W. trailer – one of the best cut trailers I’ve seen in years.

    I wonder if W. will be as good as Z and M?

    If it's as good as this:

    I'll be satisfied.

    Hey, what about Thandie Newton as Rice – she really looks the part!

    What is Stone's motive here? Is he banging a final nail in the coffin? Wouldn't this movie have served a better purpose before the last election? (Mind you Moore's film didn't affect the outcome.) Or maybe Stone thinks that a Bush biopic makes the perfect Friday night entertainment. I guess Bush's term in office could be played as a black comedy.

  4. Phil says:

    Oliver Stone will probably portray George W as the third shooter of JFK.

  5. jettloe says:

    At some level Stone feels he understands Bush – I doubt the film will be a real negative portrayal – perhaps best viewed as a tragedy in which a hell raising ne'er do well is promoted above his abilities – we shall see.

  6. Miles Habord says:

    As an open note to Oliver Stone: Isn't it customary for a president to be dead before making a movie on them? Do you know something the rest of us don't?

  7. jettloe says:

    Oliver Stone seems to be a guy with a pretty large ego – (have you seen Alexander – I mean c'mon), so it's not surprising that he's not even waiting for Bush to be out of office. :)

    Josh Brolin did a convincing Dubya, though he reminded me a lot of his cowboy character from No Country for Old Men… over all, i don't doubt that 'W.' will have the effect Oliver Stone desired
