The man who will play Bush in the movie


This is Josh Brolin, who will play Bush in Bush:The Movie (or whatever it is eventually called - suggestions?)

Oliver Stone is audaciously planning to make a film of George W Bush's life and release it on the same day that Bush leaves office.

His previous Presidential films (JFK, Nixon) have been released well after their subject left office and died. So he's obviously planning something substantial.

I can hardly wait. Let's just say that he has a broad canvass to work with !

I particularly look forward to the portrayal of the Fratboy years, the incident where Bush choked on a pretzel leaving his dogs in charge of the nuclear deterrent and, of course, the Alabama Years, when Bush went AWOL from his national service (in turn to avoid Vietnam service) by working for some obscure Senate campaign in Alabama. It's all going to be fascinating.
