He should go the Alexander route with it. Have Colin Farrel play Bush, not drop his accent, and be totally historically innacurate. Angelina Jolie can play Barbra Bush
And then after it sucks and everyone hates it, release a directors cut that's actually shorter. Then, when THAT sucks and everyone hates it too, release yet another cut of it that still sucks and everyone will hate.
wtf? Brolin as Bush?
for one, Brolin's actually a pretty cool guy, and two.....he's wayyyyy too handsome to portray Bush. you'd need someone like Billy Bob Thorton or William H. Macy.
4) Keeping number 3 in mind...will this start a new trend of useless president bio-pics? Whats next? A Franklin Pierce movie? Maybe a Warren G. Harding bio-pic?
I'd rather see a Bill Clinton biopic. His Rise and Fall would be ten times more interesting for me to watch on the big screen.
I got that show on DVD. I loved it how Parker and Stone put Bush into cliched sitcom scenarios.How is Timothy Bottoms not playing Bush?
I am amazed at some of the responses.
There is an interesting story here. As Stone said: its the story of an alcoholic bum becoming a born again Christian and emerging the most powerful man in the world.
I am sure it will also play Bush having to stop from his father shadows and overall could make for a pretty interesting film. I am queasy though about Stone directing it. I would prefer a Bush Bio-Pic to be done by a more...objective director, though I have heard that he was fairly respectful with Nixon which gives me hope.
