Hugo Chávez: Has he funded the film "W." by Oliver Stone? LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood is coming out this fall with a slew of political movies that hit all the hot-button topics as the tight U.S. presidential campaign nears its climax. From religion to patriotism, gay rights and the presidency of George W. Bush, directors are wearing their political colors on their sleeves, using comedy, true...
Here's a funny series of posters for the W movie starring Josh Brolin as President George W. Bush. The film is directed by Olive Stone. It will be in theatres on October 17th, 2008. It looks like an interesting take on the Bush administration but will many people watch what we are still living today? You can find the film's website here . The Talking Heads' hit song "Burning Down the House" plays...
Back in January I mentioned that Josh Brolin was going to play George Bush in an Oliver Stone movie about the great chimp. The film was then scheduled for release in January 2009. In today's Guardian Weekend, Oliver Burkeman writes a long article on the film based on an interview with Mr Stone. The movie's release has now been brought forward to October 17th. There are some interesting cast
Politics and marketing are getting complicated: The video was created by political-satire site BarelyPolitical.com, a unit of New York-based Web-TV company Next New Networks. Barely Political also produced the popular viral Web video “I’ve Got a Crush on Obama.” The site was acquired by Next New Networks in 2007. Next New Networks has worked with Lionsgate in the past to promote such films as the Jet...
In a new interview with The Times UK, director Oliver Stone ponders the domestic box office prospects for his W. biopic, opening in limited release the 17th of this month. The Lionsgate film had a budget of $30 million—financed by Chinese investors—and arguably there is no precedent for how well it might do. High profile [...]
Forty-three years ago, two men enrolled at Yale University. One of them dropped out a year later, volunteered to fight in Vietnam, then made a movie about his experiences entitled Platoon. His name is Oliver Stone. The other dodged combat and went on to become the 43rd President of the United States. His name is George W. Bush.
Liosngate has released a couple new production photos from Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic - W. The photo above shows George W. Bush (Josh Brolin, front) playing with his two dogs, Barney and Spot, on the White House lawn, as Karl Rove (Toby Jones) comes up with evil schemes on his blackberry (we can [...]
Rather slick trailer. (And got to wonder how filming the pretzel scene didn’t hurt.) “W,” as the biopic is simply called, hits the theaters this fall. ShareThis
A new trailer for Oliver Stone’s W. has hit the web this week, and although it’s somewhat short, it most definitely leaves you wanting more. We get a pretty good look at the cast and each of their takes on the political figures they are portraying. It certainly doesn’t hold back on the comedy, and [...]
Tagline: Based on a true story. Translation: Yep, they include the part with the pretzel. The Verdict: The new, second trailer for Oliver Stone's Bush biopic, W. , has a lot going for it — the (obvious-in-retrospect) choice of the Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" for the soundtrack, Josh Brolin's hilarious, spot-on Bush impersonation, and Elizabeth Banks playing a mean Laura, straight man to George....
As promised, we've got more from Oliver Stone's W. Another full theatrical trailer has debuted that seems like an extended version of that flashy TV spot we posted earlier in the week. This is finally starting to look a lot better, but George W. Bush still looks very goofy and the film seems like way too much of a light-hearted farce than an actual serious drama telling the story behind our 43rd President....
