Anyone else think that Oliver Stone’s George Bush Jr. biopic is one of the strangest projects currently in development right now in Hollywood? Well, at least the strangest outside of David O. Rusell’s current film. Though Josh Brolin works as the Bush Jr., as does Elizabeth Banks who has just been revealed to be cast as the First Lady, James Cromwell (Bush Sr.) and Jeffrey Wright (Colin Powell) seem to be stranger choices to me.

Also doesn’t it just seem a bit early to have a biopic about George Bush? Given how popular he is these days, does anyone even care to see a film about him, especially one that Stone promises will be a balanced representation of the current American President yet is being described as, “the improbable story of a man who went to the White House despite getting fewer votes than his opponent; who became commander-in-chief despite having avoided military combat himself; and who became the least popular president ever elected to a second term. W will shock and surprise you and leave you questioning everything you believe to be true.”

That description does sell the film slightly better, I find, but I’m still left wondering how the film is actually going to turn out, and whether it’s really going to end up being a biopic, or just another liberal anti-Iraq film.

What do you guys think?
