Director Oliver Stone has reportedly started production on a biopic about President George W. Bush. The film, 'W,' will star Josh Brolin of 'No Country for Old Men' as Bush, The Decider.
Laura Bush is played by Elizabeth Banks, Rob Corddry is Ari Fleisher, and Paul Giamatti and Thandie Newton are reportedly in talks to portray Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice, respectively.
Entertainment Weekly visited the Louisiana set and took a glimpse at the script, revealing scenes about Bush's youth and presidency. The film is, of course, from Stone's one-sided perspective.
"Bush may turn out to be the worst president in history," Stone told EW. "But that doesn't mean he isn't a great story... The fact that he had to overcome the shadow of his father and the weight of his family name - you have to admire his tenacity."
Stone is a button-pushing director whose films include 'JFK' and 'Nixon.'
