Oliver Stone seems to be having no problem landing a great cast for his upcoming theatrical indictment of the Bush administration, W. I guess that’s not surprising. If the rest of the country is sick of Bush, just imagine how eager Hollywood is to take potshots at him. The cast is already pretty well, awesome. Josh Brolin is playing George W., Elizabeth Banks is Laura Bush, James Cromwell and Ellen Burstyn are momma and poppa Bush. Now the latest is that Paul Giamatti may be added into the mix.
NY Mag says Giamatti is in talks with Stone to take on a role in the film. He’s bald, a little pudgy, and if you’ve seen Shoot Em’ Up then you know he’s good at playing characters who are pure evil. That’d make him a great fit for either Dick Cheney or Satan’s bedfellow Karl Rove. Personally, I’m still hoping Stone will cast Danny DeVito as Dick Cheney and then dress him in his old penguin costume from Batman. So that leaves Paul playing Karl. Assuming of course that Oliver Stone shares my wickedly perfect sense of humor. Assuming that he has any sense of humor actually. I’ve never seen any sign of one before.
