Vanity Fair has a first look at the complete cabinet of the upcoming George W. Bush biopic W., from director Oliver Stone. I gotta admit, save for a few of the actors/actresses, some of these choices look very strange to me. MTV also has a new photo from within the film, which I’ve included below.
Synopsis
Josh Brolin stars as George W. Bush in this Oliver Stone biopic that traces the head of state’s rise to power from a privileged alcoholic to a born-again Christian whose belief in religious destiny helped move him to the top ranks of political power. Co-written by Stanley G. Weiser, Bush is produced by fellow Stone collaborators Moritz Borman and Jon Kilik, with Elizabeth Banks co-starring as the first lady, James Cromwell as the elder President Bush, Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush and Richard Dreyfuss as Vice President Dick Cheney.
W. hits theaters on October 17, 2008.

Yet another actor has been cast in the upcoming George W. Bush biopic W., this time it’s former press secretary Ari Fleischer. MTV is reporting that comedian Rob Corddry (The Daily Show) has been cast in the role. Given all the attention the film has received over the past few days, it’s no surprise that an early script has been leaked. Dated October 12, 2007 (and referred to as Bush at that point) you can read Slate’s opinion of the script here. W. will hit theaters sometime in 2009.
