Biopic. Political thriller. Soap opera. Farce. Horror movie. Circus act.
If screenwriter Stanley Weiser and director Oliver Stone have decided to stick to the ugly facts, all of the above — and more — may be used to describe W., which opens in the United States on October 17. The story — how truthful a story remains to be seen — of US president George W. Bush, W. stars Josh Brolin as Bush, Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush, Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice, James Cromwell as George Bush, Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney, Scott Glenn as Donald Rumsfeld, Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair, Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush, Jason Ritter as Jeb Bush, Noah Wyle as Don Evans, and Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell.
Some have been touting this latest Stone effort as a potential Oscar 2009 contender, even though since the early 1990s the director has been making one critical and/or box-office disappointment after another.
