Josh Brolin as George W. Bush

August 22nd, 2008by Jett Loe · 11 Comments

Nice little example of Josh Brolin playing George W. Bush taken from behind the scenes footage of the new Oliver Stone pic W.; followed by the W. trailer – one of the best cut trailers I’ve seen in years.

    I wonder if W. will be as good as Z and M?

    If it's as good as this:

    I'll be satisfied.

    Hey, what about Thandie Newton as Rice – she really looks the part!

    What is Stone's motive here? Is he banging a final nail in the coffin? Wouldn't this movie have served a better purpose before the last election? (Mind you Moore's film didn't affect the outcome.) Or maybe Stone thinks that a Bush biopic makes the perfect Friday night entertainment. I guess Bush's term in office could be played as a black comedy.

    Oliver Stone will probably portray George W as the third shooter of JFK.

    At some level Stone feels he understands Bush – I doubt the film will be a real negative portrayal – perhaps best viewed as a tragedy in which a hell raising ne'er do well is promoted above his abilities – we shall see.

    As an open note to Oliver Stone: Isn't it customary for a president to be dead before making a movie on them? Do you know something the rest of us don't?

    Oliver Stone seems to be a guy with a pretty large ego – (have you seen Alexander – I mean c'mon), so it's not surprising that he's not even waiting for Bush to be out of office. :)

    Josh Brolin did a convincing Dubya, though he reminded me a lot of his cowboy character from No Country for Old Men… over all, i don't doubt that 'W.' will have the effect Oliver Stone desired
