George Meets Laura In This New Clip From W.
I hope that Oliver Stone produces an unbiased look at George Bush with W., and I hope this as a liberal. I genuinely want to see how a guy like George Bush became president, and maybe see the events of his life in an accurate way so I could understand him a bit better. However, I just don’t see Oliver Stone presenting what did happen in George Bush’s life, rather, I see him presenting what “probably” happened. That said, I was happy to see the clip below from W. crop up on CNN (of all places): So

How Dubya Met Laura, Stone-Style
There are girls swinging on a red swingset and piles of potluck food piled high on the tables, all nestled into a wood-fence-lined back yard. According to Oliver Stone's W., this is how George W. Bush met Laura Welch -- the girl who says: "I read. I smoke. I admire." No wonder the two ended up together! The above is a clip about their meeting, which has popped up over at CNN. Now I know that the big question surrounding this film is whether people will go to see it, or ignore it, kind of like the prolifer

W. clip online

Stone's 'W': His portrait of the president
As President Bush prepares to depart the White House, along comes a movie claiming to explain how the onetime boozing rabble-rouser got there in the first place. The movie, "W.," already is creating controversy just from its trailer, showing an inebriated young Bush driving his car onto his family's lawn and being bawled out by his father, who shouts at him, "Who do you think you are? A Kennedy? You're a Bush." Images View Larger Images

Josh Brolin was terrified of tackling Bush

Bush when it was first offered to him, and even gave director Oliver Stone a list of actors who could play the U.S. president better than he could.The actor was terrified of tackling the leader in the controversial biopic - entitled W - fearing he'd struggle to mimic the president for the length of a feature film. Comment on this Article He tells New York magazine, "At first I said no to Oliver. I gave him names of other actors. I was afraid to do it."Some

When ‘W.’ met Laura
I have to say, Josh Brolin isn’t nearly as convincing in this CNN exclusive clip of Oliver Stone’s upcoming “W.” as he has been in the other stuff we’ve seen: Related posts What’s with actors getting arrested in the South?
