Oliver Stone’s latest movie “W” will be released to theaters on October 17th 2008, mere weeks before the Presidential Election in Novemeber.
Oliver Stone says:
“We don’t really know much about Mr. Bush beyond the controlled images we’ve been allowed to see on TV. This movie’s taking a bold stab at looking behind that curtain.”
Here is the trailer:
From the Telegraph in England:
The 90-second clip starts with scenes of US President George W. Bush, played Josh Brolin, struggling to find his way before entering politics: a whirl of drinking contests, gambling, drink-driving and being thrown in jail - he is seen being led down a prison corridor in Yale sweatshirt.
“If I remember correctly, you didn’t like the sporting goods job,” his father George H W Bush, played by James Cromwell, says as he lectures his son.
“Working in the investment firm wasn’t for you either, or the oil rig job. You didn’t exactly finish up with flying colours in the Air National Guard, junior.
“What are you cut out for?”
Bush senior continues as Brolin, star of No Country For Old Men, hangs his head.
“Partying? Chasing tail? Driving drunk? Who do you think you are? A Kennedy? You’re a Bush. Act like one.”
I’ll be so happy if this movie is done well. There’s so much shit that will stick to the wall that they should choose their turds carefully.
