Oliver Stone To Direct George W. Bush Biopic

[dark_b]

The Empire article left me disappointed. I was hoping that this movie would show Bush for the crooked, murdering sleazeball that he is, but it doesn't sound like it's going to delve that far into it. If it did though, Stone would have probably been shipped off to Guantanamo Bay, so I guess I can understand why he would pull his punches a bit.

then whats the point of making a Bush movie if you are going to hold back?thats like lets make a gay comedy. but hey we can nto make fun of them. so we will make a bad comedy.

bull...... Bush is not like Putin. if you say something bad about Putin you are dead. thats a fact. but i dont think that this would happen in hollywood.

Rob Courddry as Ari Fleischer is probably the most hilariously brilliant casting choice in this movie.

 

[M.O.Steel]

holy cow on c. rice. that is spot-on.

 

[Mister Sinister]

New TV spot over at CS!, contains a whole bunch of new footage.

 

[Gotham]

Great spot. t:

 

[Dexter M0rgan]

Definitely checking this out. What's the release date?

 

[Symbiotic]

I'm surprised at the PG-13.

 

[Apollo]

hahah the TV spot made be laugh. t:

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

This movie looks terrible.

I hope this speech is in the movie.

"Fool me once................. shame on you, fool me twice cant get fooled again."

Oliver Stone originally wanted Christian Bale, and apparently Bale wanted the role, too:

I love how Brolin is in the role so far, though.

 

[M.O.Steel]

for bush? what a strange casting choice...

i guess bale is the hot commodity right now.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Haha...I would LOVE to see Bale's Bush impression.

 

[Crook]

Interesting, so there IS a role Bale can't/is afraid to do.

 

[M.O.Steel]

yeah i know. i would think it would be more like a scheduling conflict or something. that's usually the politically correct answer to these questions.

if he did batman, connor, AND bush...he pretty much would have sealed his place in cinema history. not that he hasn't already, but wow if he was bush.

 

[Sawyer]

Bale could pull it off.

 

[Prison Mike]

that would have been interesting to see Bale as Bush but I'm glad we have Brolin now. He looks so much like Bush.

 

[Mister Sinister]

Bush was almost played by Batman!

Aaaaand what is it people were JUST talking about here before you blessed us with this post?

Stone was saying alot of actors where scared off from the Dubya biopic. A movie like this can kill it off an actors career with the controvesy it creates so I can see why Brolin was scared.

 

[Apollo]

what song is that playing during the tv spot? it sounds like something from the 80's, i like it hahaha. t:

 

[StrainedEyes]

Is a full trailer going to come out any time soon?

I voted for Bush, but I can't resist being the first one to get this line in here...

They didn't want to go full ******.
