As we mentioned yesterday, director Oliver Stone is set to film W., a biopic on the life and presidency of George W. Bush, arguably America’s worst president ever. And dumbest!
Now that George W. (Josh Broline) and wife Laura (Elizabeth Banks) have been cast, the next step is to fill the roles of the senior Bush and his wife Barbara.
Set to play George Herbert Walker Bush will be James Cromwell, and to play former first lady Barbara will be Ellen Burstyn.
James Cromwell recently made another similar biopic about a political figure. He played Prince Philip in The Queen.
The Stone film was originally going to be called Bush, but filmmakers are now calling it W. It is expected to be available for distribution sometime possibly in November of this year.
We still don’t think we’ll spend money to watch it. We wouldn’t watch even if it were free.
If it were a musical, however, we might be interested in that!
