Bush is depicted as foul-mouthed frat boy in new Oliver Stone movie

Oliver Stone's new film,W, portrays George Bush as a foul-mouthed, dried-out drunk with a baseball obsession and a difficult relationship with his father.

Filming is expected to begin any day in Louisiana. The movie should be in cinemas before Mr Bush leaves office next January.

Stone says the film won't be an anti-Bush polemic. Rather, as he told Daily Variety, it will be "a fair, true portrait of the man that asks the question: how did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?"

An early script describes Mr Bush as a party animal living in the shadow of his esteemed father before he uses religion to turn his life around. He finds a new purpose in life – which is to achieve the presidency ahead of his brother Jeb, who was being groomed for high office by his father.

1. I hope they delve into his "military" service

You have to be a real fuckup not to make O-3 in the National Guard.

2. Sounds about right...

3. should be a good film

wonder if it will come out before the election. It would be good if it did, as we can easily brand McCain as "Bush reduxe"

4. We don't go to the movie theater very often, but we will be sure to see this one.

5. Stone's bios are usually good (except "Alexander")- his other movies generally stink.

JFK, Nixon & The Doors were all pretty good- I'm looking forward to this one- hopefully a retrun to form...

6. this sounds uncomfortably close to the official story--at least the turnaround part

I hope Stone is lying in the publicity part and going in a different direction.

Josh Brolin is way too manly to play Bush, it should be someone who can do craven and deranged. Christian Bale played a character like Bush in SHAFT and AMERICA PSYCHO, and Daniel Craig played a character EXACTLY like him in THE ROAD TO PERDITION.

Crispin Glover could do a good job of playing him if he put some meat on his bones, or this guy:

7. I wonder if there will be a feature of

Laura running down her ex-boyfriend. The Thug and the Murderer.

8. Is that chimp that costarred with Ronald Reagan still alive??

I think his name was Bonzo. He'd be perfect for the role of Bush.
