Oliver Stone to make George W Bush film

[nhboy (Premo)]

"Oliver Stone is planning to make a new film about the life and presidency of George W. Bush, and is in talks with actor Josh Brolin to play the title role.

The director has begun quietly running the script by his "Wall Street" co-writer Stanley Weiser past financiers and is hoping to start filming by April.

The plan is for the film to be released by November, when presidential elections are held, or at latest by January when Mr Bush's sucessor will take up his or her place at the White House.

Mr Stone - who has expressed strong views on Mr Bush's decision to invade Iraq - has said, in an interview with Vanity Fair, that he intends the film to be a "fair, true portrait" of the outgoing US president, focusing on his family relationships, his childhood and his conversion to Christianity."

The term "hatchet job" springs readily to mind.

Between Oliver Stone, Michael Moore and Al Gore, it's a tossup who makes the dumbest, most leftwing movies. I doubt I'll be seeing Stone's Bush movie.

I'll bet it'll be just as accurate as JFK, Nixon and The Day Reagan was Shot.
