Oliver Stone to make biopic of George W. Bush

p013106ed-0163-398h.jpg


Director Oliver Stone, who has made movies about Presidents John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, is developing a project about the current occupant of the White House, but promises it will not be a hatchet job, Daily Variety reported on Sunday.

Stone is in talks with Josh Brolin, who is starring in "No Country For Old Men," to play the title role in "Bush," the trade paper said.

He is shopping the script to financiers and hopes to start production by April, with a release date in time for the election in November, or the inauguration of Bush's successor in January.

Stone told Daily Variety that he planned to make "a fair, true portrait" of Bush, focusing on such areas as his relationship with his father, President George H.W. Bush, his wild youth, and his conversion to Christianity.

"It will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors," said Stone.

SPOILER ALERT!<br ... (Below threshold)
bob:

SPOILER ALERT!


The movie ends by revealing that Bush and the reptilian alien overlords flew robot planes into the World Trade Center by remote control so that Israel could have an excuse to invade Saudi Arabia and steal all their oil.

Conversion to Christianity?... (Below threshold)
Imhotep:

Conversion to Christianity? WTF?!

When, exactly, was G W Bush not a Christian?

"a fair, true portrait" ... (Below threshold)
Peter F.:

"a fair, true portrait"

Wait, that's gotta be Stone's opening joke for his local comedy club competition! What a brilliant self-effacing joke! That'll have 'em rollin' in the aisles!

Ohhhhhh, he's not kidding...
