W Trailer — Directed By Oliver Stone
Check out the trailer for W., a film based on the life and presidency of George W. Bush, played by John Brolin.
The movie is directed by Oliver Stone, who has compared his goal for W. to the approaches of The Queen (2006) and his own Nixon (1995). W. will be released on Friday, October 17th.
Here’s the rest of the cast: Thandie Newton as National Security Advisor turned secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair, Rob Corddry as Ari Fleischer, James Cromwell as George Herbert Walker Bush, Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush and Jeffrey Wright as General Colin Powell.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of the film W. so far — YAY or NAY?

John Brolin???
LOL at #1, I noticed that too. Who is John Brolin? :)
i cant stop laughing.
another flop. All antiwar and anti Bush films flop.
That might give me nightmares. How can you make relatively attractive people looks so damn demented and unattractive? Especially Thandie!
It’s a movie about one of the biggest jack asses of all time, how good can it be? Actually living thru the Bush era(s) , was bad enough, i don’t to waste money and time seeing a movie about it.
Oliver Stone used to be cool… “bio pics” suck…
I can’t stand Oliver Stone movies. There is not enough acid in the world to make his films watchable.
another Hollywood manipulation that willl backfire. Go McCain!!!
Obama Ben Ladin is going down!!!!
Gesh Cinema. NUT JOB MUCH? Can’t people comment on a movie without getting political.
Is this a comedy?
I’m not a big Oliver Stone fan but he does have talent but this movie has misguided bomb written all over it. For one thing this movie is going to be notihing more then a one-sided Bush-bash fest which admittedly will appeal to a large number of people. But it has no other purpose *although I know Stone will deny this up and down* then to say “Bush sux!!”
It’s too soon, if you wanted to do a serious film about the Bush years why not a few years when time has given us a bit more perspective. The only to do a rush job while Bush is still in office is to ensure all the pot\shots are fresh and still :”relevant.”
You could argue that its a testament to our Freedom of Speech that we can produce films like this about a sitting president and so it is. Stone has the right to make it and people can go see it if they choose. But as for me I will most likely be spending my money elsewhere.
So I have to say for me its a Nay.

HAIL TO THE CHIEF!
What’s the problem with Oliver Stone? He wants to imitate Michael Moore’s type of fine artistic movies…?? Great, another loser desperate to put down people at the White House.
At least the guy is pretty lucky to live in a free-speech country. I am sure Chinese, Iranian, Russian and North Corean filmmakers who loooove to do the same without being executed.
Too bad these actors will be connected to this product.
I looked at the trailer and was intrigued, but I loved The Queen, if that was by Oliver Stone, then he is good in my book…because that was an amazing movie.
This is another flop by Oliver Stone. As if torturing moviegoers with Alexander wasn’t enough. When is Hollywood going to understand the public wants to live in relative peace without constantly hearing about the whines and sobs of rich actors. Stop with all the anti Bush and anti war movies. Enough is enough.
What has Bush done to deserve a movie and a library?? To me absolutely nothing! I will not pay my hard earned money to see this because it will not change my perspective on Bush Jr., his father and how they both ran this country in the ground. Americans should want to distance themselves as far away as they can from the Bush & Clinton families. No Thanks.
#6, totally, we are LIVING through this right now, and we all know he was an alcoholic, a coke head, did poorly on his SATS and still got into Yale with Daddy’s money, was in a secret organization comparable to the KKK, and all that through venues like 20/20 and newspapers, not tabloids or magazines.
#17, I won’t be spending my money either, and #10, I am wondering the same thing: is this a comedy or what?
I would rent it.
i would go see this
I really don’t know what to think of this film.
It looks like it’s trying to be funny, serious, and controversial at the same time.. I don’t get it. I also don’t think a biography about George Bush should be done so prematurely. He’s lived a good chunk of his life yes, but still has more to add to his life/legacy.
I’m not usually an Oliver Stone fan and think he should have stuck with Pinkville or whatever it was called, instead of taking on this project. I’m not into anti war or anti Bush propaganda and it’s my fear that like the media’s coverage of the upcoming election, this film will be very one sided.
I think Oliver Stone adds too much of himself and his own beliefs and opinions to his movies and should focus more on a bigger picture or semi less opinionated view. He’s making movies for the masses, not himself and his friends.
That all being said, I am quite impressed with some of the physical transformations!
I think this is going to be hilarious. It is about time the Bush’s true level of ignorance, stupidity, and nepotism are put up for all to see. I know other comments are saying that everybody already knows he an alcoholic and coke head but clearly not? Why the hell was he voted in twice to office then? There are a lot of people out there who refuse to see Bush for what he really is.
I want to see it just so I can watch the talented Josh (John) Brolin.
Yes, Cinema—-Osama Bin Laden is going down……..7 years after her murdered 3000 Americans……Go get ‘em Johnny Mac.
Gimmie a break.
if he thinks this movie is going to go anywhere. It’s waaaaay too early. Things may seem awful now (and they are, for many many reasons, not all of which is Bush), but without the benefit of at least a few years post presidency, it’s hard to say exactly what will happen as a result of his administrations policies. After all, while he was a sitting president, John Adams was one of the most reviled men in the U.S., but today is considered one of the greatest because of his (at the time) unpopular policies. But I guess Oli thinks he’s smarter than the average joe and can figure out the future.
