I am not sure when was the last time I had much anticipation over an Oliver Stone film, but having already tackled JFK and Nixon... but the casting on the often controversial director's next feature W., tackling the current POTUS an scheduled for a 2009 release, has me pretty intrigued.
The First Family is set with Josh Brolin playing Dubya, Elizabeth Banks (best known to me as JD's baby mamma on Scrubs) as Laura ... and veteran actors James Cromwell and Ellen Burstyn as George Sr. and Barbara. While I am sure many would agree (myself included) that this is very kind casting, I can definitely see them pulling off the roles quite nicely.
Also pictured above, and in final talks to join the production are Thandie Netwon as Condi and Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair -- again pretty fine choices. Still to be cast... the axis of evil... Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove... can't quite think who would fit... any ideas?
