‘Bush’ Beyond 2008

Regardless of our own personal political beliefs, we are all on some level looking forward the the 2008 elections being behind us. With this comes the end of the George W. Bush tenure. However, it certainly does not mean the end of Bush. As it turns out, as is the Hollywood way, the studio machine is already spinning its cogs on a motion picture centered on George W. Bush and he’s not even out of office yet. I am sure this news doesn’t come as any more of a surprise to you as it does to me, but what is interesting is the early talk about who’s involved. Apparently there is word that Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men)Â  is interested, assumingly as Bush, but nothing is confirmed. More interesting, is who will be helming this project. At first, I wondered if this movie about President Bush will be a comedy or a drama. Well, it could perhaps end up being something more sinister. Veteren director Oliver Stone is apparently opting to make this his next project. Mr. Stone is known for films laden with controversy and are usually centered on some sort of cinspiracy theory. Hmm… not sure what material he could see in a movie about George W. Bush?
