Oliver Stone to make movie on Bush. (1 Viewer)

Jim Garrison's case lasted a nanosecond in court. The framing of Clay Shaw should be a documentary by itself.

I'm sure it will as truthful as a film bio by Ann Coulter of Bill Clinton.

Looks like Stone is going to play up the much alleged daddy-issues plaguing the Dubster.

I am going to be very interested to see who plays Bush. I hope it is Frank Caliendo.

Josh Brolin. The guy from No Counrty for Old Men.

Stone and brolin will be in shreveport for the movie in a couple of more weeks, An Actor buddy of mine got a callback to play a CIA agent in the movie (in the scene he is trying to convience Bush to go to war with Iraq)

My buddy is very hopeful of the potential to work with stone...

I for one would love to see an oliver stone version of W...

"Nixon" seemed fairly balanced to me.
But that is beside the point IMO. He is creating drama, not academic history.
The idea that JFK is a bad movie simply because you think it is historically inaccurate seems silly. In any event, if you are overly concerned with the historical accuracy of works of art (which seems one of the many diseases of modernity) then why not view it as a historiography? It was a relatively accurate portrayal of Garrison's book.
