Well, this looks terrible. And, uh, Lloyd Bentsen as George H.W. Bush, that’s very inspired casting. The Laura Bush and Condi Bush Rice actors/characters look like they might be semi-believable, and that’s about it. Terrible soundtrack. Just looks terrible, all around. Of course, no biopic could ever compare with the rancid stupid tragedy that is the life of George W. Bush, who should have been cremated at birth. UPDATE: This one appears to work, for now. [YouTube]

Too bad Stone missed out on selecting the soundtrack that reflects the “W” story nearly flawlessly:

Interesting casting choice for Condi.
Using the guy who played the black transvestite, Lady Chablis, in “Midnight In The Garden of Good And Evil.”

Bold move, Oliver. BOLD.
This movie will be terrible, for sure, but I’m still seeing it opening day.
Johnny Zhivago: Haha nice!
Richard Dreyfuss will always be Dick Cheney to me thanks to The American President.
meh.
wake me up when johnyy depp is playing our president.
or IS our president.
This looks like fun for the whole family.
Hey, everyone, have you heard of the Dubya movie? It is a very popular movie that is in the theaters right now, and it has a scary anti-hero called the Bush! This anti-hero is exactly like Batman , because Batman is a religious, principled alcoholic who wants to save us all from the terrorists.
One of the related videos on YouTube is something called “Bad Sushi.” Conspiracy? I think so.
ladymacbeth: stupidstupid:
or batman
batman IS our president.
” George W. Bush, who should have been cremated at birth” Better — aborted before, but those guys be agin’ it, unless the young Bush is implicated in some way that he can’t remember clearly.
I think it looks fun & funny.
Neilist: Elizabeth Banks is playing Laura Bush. Elizabeth Banks.
Whoever plays Battleship Bar is way too attractive. Doesn’t look like someone who would laugh about people drowning. But Rove looks creepy.
I hope this is as good as the Reagan movie from a few years ago. My favorite scene in that one was when stepkids Michael and Maureen came home for a visit with Dad and had to sleep on the floor because the 10,000-square-foot house that Nancy chose only had 3 bedrooms.
Neilist: Oh no, you take that back! Everybody knows the Lady Chablis played herself!
I was so enthralled with Midnight, I went to see The Lady at a book-signing here in Nashville. She was brilliant!
That movie will probably bomb, though. People want to pretend that they never voted for that asshole.
Not to knock Brolin, but in my mind Will Ferrell is the only one capable of portraying Bush.

They made Barbara Bush, the old one, way hotter for the film version.
wander_lust: Thanks.Neilist: Is that who that is? Am I the only one who got the “disapproving mammy” vibe from that clip?
Wow, if that song hadn’t already been ruined for me by being sung badly at my grandmother’s funeral, it would have been ruined for me tonight.
Looks like it’s down again & I can’t find it anywhere.
After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the Bush ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that… he is gone.
Link died. Wander_lust’s is gone also. Regardless, Oliver Stone doing a bio of Dubya is gonna be about as informative as G. Gordon Liddy writing a book about the Church Commission. Or anything factual, for that matter.
Lord, Ken, I know it’s Sunday, but — hey! wake up!!!! we scuzzes are sleeping in our buckets, ya know!,,,, God won’t be offended if you find some teehee/haha/fun outside of Texas, yes?…….
Mel Gibson is playing Barney. Ya know, cuz he’s got the Scottish accent, the right hairdo and likes being coddled by religious conservatives.
I think this is the perfect project for Oliver Stone. I’ve heard he is kind of a dick too.
villageatrois: I think that’s WHY they oppose abortion. They are afraid they’d never have been born.
Also, this is kind of like that movie about the recount: I have no desire to see it because the wounds are still gaping and painful.

working as of 7:40 am
If it’s not too late, I’ve got some casting changes to suggest to Mr. Stone:
George W. Bush - Howdy Doody
Dick Cheney - Buffalo Bob Smith
Donald Rumsfeld - Clarabelle
Colin Powell - Todd Bridges
Condoleezza Rice - Phil Silvers
Barney - Brian Griffin
Laura Bush - Sharon Osbourne
Barbara Bush (elder) - Anita Bryant
George H.W. Bush - Ben Stein
Barbara Bush (younger) - Tori Spelling
Jenna Bush - Hillary Duff
Jeb! Bush - Vince Vaughn
Tony Bliar - Terry Thomas
FoxNews team - L. Eet Ferret Wranglers of Hollywood
Please consider my suggestions, Mr. Stone. They would make for a much better movie, I’m sure you’ll agree.
Neilist: Lady Chablis was played by Lady Chablis, the actual transgendered person.
I’m waiting for the musical version, me.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: The alien mother ship will pick him up in Crawford, just like it dropped him off in Austin?
PS–The IMBD lists it as “Comedy/Drama” which is just about right. Toby Jones (lately as Truman Capote) plays Rove. and the great James “Farmer Hoggett” Cromwell is Bush the Elder.
Am I the only one that thinks it’s a little early for a biopic? I mean the man still has another 4-5 months to blunder! Also, the Karl Rove character is very believable. Then again, it isn’t hard to find someone who looks like a test tube baby.
>>Am I the only one that thinks it’s a little early for a biopic?
So true. The film would feel so incomplete without the nucular holocaust climax W has in store for us.
Larry McAwful…
Heads up. The parents of most of the people on this site are too young to recognize some of your casting suggestions.
If Bob Woodward said, “I guess everybody gets the psychoanalyst they deserve, and Nixon got Oliver Stone,” doesn’t that mean we need Uwe Boll to do this biopic?
AbeServer: Yeah, I know. But then, since I was born in 1969, I’m too young to recognize some of them, too.
I considered putting Effie Clinker down for Condi Rice—but decided that was too obscure. So even I’ve got my limits.
I’ll give our readers the benefit of the doubt. And the benefit of Google!
Scott Glenn as Rummy? FAIL. James Woods would be so much better. No, I lie. Rutger Hauer.
Didn’t the already make this movie?

Rats! They pulled the video from youtube.
link for trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyDvUwRalXY
So the video disappeared… conspiracy?
Other casting from “W:”
–Eartha Kitt as Condoleezzaaa Rice
–Morgan Freeman as Colin Powell
–Richard Dreyfus as Dick Cheney
–Louis Black as Ari Fleischer
–Dennis Miller as Andrew Card
–Barbara Hershey as Karen Hughes
–Bob Hoskins as Scott McClellan
–Wilford Brimley as John Bolton
–Patrick Stewart as Donald Rumsfeld
–Patrick Warbarton as John Ashcroft
–Nicole Kidman as Laura Bush
–Jennifer and Ashlee Simpson as Jenna and Barbara Bush.
So the movie should be pretty good!
Ick, I can’t stand to watch the real ones on the news..too little, too soon…
regisgoat: Toby Jones plays Rove??? Ohhhh, how I would love to see Rove in a jail cell being menaced by Daniel Craig…
hamletta: I know Lady Chablis played her/himself. Gesh, it was a JOKE.
(The weird thing is, in W. Condi is played by Thandy Newton - whom I always thought was hot. Now I’m wondering if s/he has an “issue.”
llyn: “Transgendered.” Now, there’s a word with which I have ALWAYS had an “issue.” Still not sure what it covers - other than everyone on the planet (accordingly to the lawyer at the S.F. Human Rights Commission who tried to explain it to me once.)
It’s weird the way they clearly got Dick Cheney and Karl Rove to play themselves, but then just casted random actors as Rumsfeld and Bush Sr. Reminiscent of casting changes on a soap opera.
Who is going to this movie?
Haven’t we had enough?
I can’t watch press conferences, photo-ops, etc.
And the voice!! (Does Frank “Rich Little” Caliendo not get this?!)
UGH!! Wake me up when it’s over.
