Josh Brolin Cast As George W. Bush In Oliver Stone Biopic
Oliver Stone is working on a George W. Bush biopic entitled Bush. It will be about the life and presidency of George W. Bush. Stone has cast Josh Brolin as Bush.
The film will probably be rushed into production so that it will be in theaters by the November elections. While Stone has pretty strong personal political beliefs, this film supposedly won’t be biased. Stone told Variety:
“It’s a behind-the-scenes approach, similar to ‘Nixon,’ to give a sense of what it’s like to be in his skin,” Stone told Daily Variety. “But if ‘Nixon’ was a symphony, this is more like a chamber piece, and not as dark in tone. People have turned my political ideas into a cliche, but that is superficial. I’m a dramatist who is interested in people, and I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much the same as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison and Alexander the Great.”
Brolin seems kind of an odd choice to play Bush (but then again I’m not sure who would really fit either), but he’s an extremely hot actor, coming off of performances this year in American Gangster and No Country For Old Men.
oliver stone is a nazi propagandist.
