Who will play George W. Bush in the Oliver Stone Film?

Oliver Stone is working on a film that will portray the life of George W. Bush. The president currently has very low approval ratings and Stone has been openly critical of the president, but he claims the movie isn’t intended as a venue to attack Bush.

Director Oliver Stone plans to make the film in similar fashion to his movie Nixon, which offered a look at the life and presidency of former President Richard M. Nixon. Stone claims the film isn’t “anti-Bush,” yet he still manages to get in a jab, asking, “How did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?" as reported by The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The script for Bush was finished just before the writers strike. No word yet on scheduling, but Stone has mentioned who his first pick to play the role of “W” is: Josh Brolin. Josh Brolin's acting career began more than 20 years ago, including roles in more than one television series and several films. He is also the son of award winning actor, director, and producer, James Brolin. He may be a good choice for the role. Stone seems to have a knack for choosing actors that make his films believable. Let’s just hope George W. Bush doesn’t do anything through the end of his term that would make for a heart-stopping ending to the film.
