This one's for real, folks. Oliver Stone is set to direct a biopic about our current two term leader of the free world, starring James Brolin. Stone has already directed to eponymous presidential movies in JFK and Nixon, both of which are decent flicks. This one will obviously have more in common with Nixon on multiple levels."I want a fair, true portrait of the man. How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world? It's like Frank Capra territory on one hand, but I'll also cover the demons in his private life, his bouts with his dad and his conversion to Christianity, which explains a lot of where he is coming from. It includes his belief that God personally chose him to be president of the United States, and his coming into his own with the stunning, preemptive attack on Iraq. It will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors."
