Well today's blog just seemed too good to pass up. Today I'll be discussing the shocking and unprecedented "W." from Oliver Stone.As you might be able to tell from the title, "W." will be the story of the life and presidency of George W. Bush.
Want to hear the kicker?
Apparently, the film will be released on October 17th of this year, just one month behind elections. This will most certainly cause quite the uproar.
According to Entertainment Weekly, "W." will look unflinchingly (or rather unashamedly?) at the major incidents during the presidency to "such flag-waving moments as the Commander and Chief nearly choking to death on a pretzel while watching football on TV."
So far, I can't decipher if the film will have a comedic tone or a serious one, but I'm sure that it will have a liberal agenda due to the fact that Stone is directing.
Josh Brolin will star as Bush and Elizabeth Banks as his first lady. This should be a surprising twist since Brolin starred in last year's "No Country for Old Men" and this seems to be a radically different role. The good news is that we won't have to wait for long before we get to see what this film is all about.
Watch for more updates on "W." in the coming months.

I don't know why, but the accompanying picture makes me think it will be a comedy. I can't wait to see previews for this one. Are you planning to keep going with this blog?
