'W.' trailer: Can his expose of George W. Bush get Oliver Stone back in the Oscars derby?
Oliver Stone's newest film, "W.," about the life of the current U.S. commander in chief could well put the three-time Oscar winner back in the derby.
As you will see from the trailer, Josh Brolin eerily embodies George W. Bush, just as his father, James, bore a strong resemblance to President Ronald Reagan when he portrayed him in a 2003 TV miniseries. Oscar winners Richard Dreyfuss as Vice President Dick Cheney and Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush lend support as do Oscar nominee James Cromwell as Preside

New trailer for Oliver Stone’s ‘W’ …
Whatever your opinion of President Bush, or of Oliver Stone for that matter, this movie actually looks funny… if not sort of sad. It goes without saying that the film will be heavily biased, politically speaking, but all that aside… I can’t help but find myself a little intrigued having seen three distinctly different trailers for the film, leading me to actually look forward [out of curiosity] to an Oliver Stone film. This is an anomaly, trust me. I do not like Oliver Stone.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘W.’ Photo Reveals Bush’s Wild Side
By and large I love me some Oliver Stone. I will defend just about all of his work except for “Alexander”. But even I am not sure what to make of his take on the life and times of George W. Bush. “W.” opens in just over a month and each glimpse me leaves me simultaneously intrigued and skeptical. Will Oliver pull off something special? Your guess is as good as mine. In the meantime, here’s an exclusive image.
New 'W.' Spot Was One Fake Nose Away From Starring Christian Bale [Mister President]
newVideoPlayer("/wexclusive_def.flv", 506, 423,""); The W. news cycle is picking up again in advance of its Oct. 17 release date, and this time around no one even had to go to jail: A few days after Vanity Fair showcased a fresh family photo from the Shreveport set, a new, more irony-embracing TV spot is circulating online. View it after the jump, and tell us if Defamer's finely calibrated crystal ball didn't see the George W. Bush and Friends Variety Hour vibe coming a mile away. And if you still don't be
Oliver Stone: Josh Brolin was "scared (bleep)less"
The director on casting his film W about George Bush. "Originally I went for Christian Bale. But Christian said, I just don't feel like I can do it. I met Josh and liked him. He was more rural Americana. But man, he was scared [bleep]less."

George W. Bush Cabinet Exposed in 'W' Photos
The first look into Oliver Stone's version of George W. Bush's entire cabinet circa 2003 through Vanity Fair's pictures.
W. TV Spot# 2 and Christian Bale was supposed to play Dubya Bush
The second TV spot for W. has hit the web and once again, just like the first one, this also gives us the comedy side of the movie, Is W. only going to make fun of George W. Bush? Cause that’s what it seems so far. What about the drama aspect of it all? I thought Oliver Stone was going to give a fair portrayal. I’m not a fan of the Bush administration but what good would this biopic be if this turns out to be one-sides only?!
In an interview with GQ Magazine, Director Oliver Stone revealed
New Images of W.
USA TODAY has a batch of New Images from the biopic movie W. about the rise of our current president George Dubya Bush played by Josh Brolin. Some of the are behind-the-scenes photo of Oliver Stone directing his actors. The article also has the description of the beginning scene from the movie and yes, the movie is a comedy/satire. That explains the first TV Spot and the second TV spot. Maybe Stone wasn’t aiming for a fair portrayal after all.

Oliver Stone: President Bush is a 'good salesman'
Oliver Stone has made three movies about presidents -- JFK, Nixon and the upcoming W., about the current occupant of the White House -- and though he doesn't see much to admire in President George W. Bush, the Oscar-winning director says he came to understand why the politician was able to connect with voters.
"He was a cheerleader," Stone says, noting his his fellow Yalie's extra-curricular activity during college. "A cheerleader is a salesman. He was a helluva good salesman. He’s a good
San Diego Means...?
"I can't believe this Palin-MCain stuff," W. director Oliver Stone has told USA Today's Anthony Breznican. "I thought the other day [that they're being] made to look like anchors on a TV show in San Diego. Here's the old guy with the white hair and the young chick with the glasses, sitting side by side. 'Trust me...we're a good team.'" Shouldn't Stone have said "trust us, we're a good team?" And why did he say "Palin-McCain" rather than the other way around?
