LIONSGATE UK WILL RELEASE OLIVER STONE’S
 
  W.
ON NOVEMBER 7TH, 2008
 
Whether you love him or hate him, there is no question that George W. Bush is one of the most controversial public figures in recent memory.  In an unprecedented undertaking, acclaimed director Oliver Stone is bringing the life of the 43rd President of the United States of America to the big screen as only he can.  W. takes viewers through Bush’s eventful life -- his struggles and triumphs, how he found both his wife and his faith, and of course the critical days leading up to Bush’s decision to invade Iraq. 
 
Leading the all star cast is Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men, American Gangster, Milk) as the eponymous character who is joined by James Cromwell (The Queen) as George H.W. Bush, Elizabeth Banks (The 40 year Old Virgin, Meet Dave, Role Model) as Laura Bush, Ellen Burstyn (Requiem for a Dream) as Barbara Bush, Toby Jones (Infamous, Frost/Nixon) as Karl Rove, Thandie Newton (Crash, Rocknrolla) as Condoleezza Rice and Ioan Gruffud (Fantastic Four) as Tony Blair.

Is this a spoof? If not, this will probably be the most pointless film of all time...

Anyway, some backstage footage and stuff:

Filmstalker:


There's a clip online for W., the George Bush film from Oliver Stone starring Josh Brolin as the man who comes through some extremely rough times to lead the U.S. as the Commander in Chief.

This clip shows the moment that George first meets Laura, and it seems to suggest that they were at loggerheads from the beginning.

The W. clip does show Josh Brolin carrying off that Bush stagger once again, but the surprising thing is the suggestion of how Laura Bush is going to be portrayed, she herself seems as though she will be as strong as the character of Bush, and it would be interesting to know if this is really what she is like in real life.

I started wondering about whether this film would prove to be controversial and perhaps have a hand in the upcoming election, and whether the controversy is going to come directly from the film's portrayal of the characters or just from the very fact that they are showing the real people behind the President and the First Lady.

What do you think? Here's the clip through Ace Showbiz that does a good job of humanising President Bush, something that should have been done during his Presidency.

Saw the trailer for this the other day and I have to say it intrigues me. Also in a bigger piece of news about this. W. will become the Spotlight On for November on CPC Movies!
