Entertainment Weekly just seems like it’s on a roll lately, what with a slew of great and topical interviews (whether it be Spielberg/Lucas, Harrison Ford, or Favreau and Downey Jr.), and some big scoops, including the upcoming issue which will feature a cover story of Oliver Stone’s W. A cover story of course means we get pictures, and sure enough it provides us with our first look at Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks as the first couple. I have to say, I still think this project is pretty wacky in terms of story, but Brolin and Banks look pretty dead-on. I can barely even recognize Brolin underneath that make-up.

On a side note, the film nerd in me thinks it’s pretty cool that while Thom Ernst of TVO’s Saturday Night at the Movies was interviewing Oliver Stone in his L.A. office recently (you can read about his experience here; scroll to the bottom) this was probably all in the works already. That Stone is a tight-lipped fella.
