Oliver Stone’s George Bush biopic “W” set to begin shooting

March 27th, 2008 by Scott Marks

W and a couple of ‘fluffers’

Let’s hope that Oliver Stone’s take on George W. Bush is half as entertaining as his previous presidential vivisection, Nixon.

With Josh Brolin already inked to star as our lunk-headed Commander in Chief, Elizabeth Banks today signed on to play Laura in Stone’s latest presidential biopic, W. Too bad Robert Ryan didn’t live to play Bush.

Stanley Weiser, who co-wrote Wall Street with Stone, penned the script and principle photography should commence in late April in Shreveport, La.

Can’t wait for “Taft!”
