Oliver Stone isnât a fan of the decision to invade Iraq, but in his next film he wants to render âa fair, true portraitâ of President Bush, Variety reported. âHow did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?â Mr. Stone asked. âItâs like Frank Capra territory on one hand, but Iâll also cover the demons in his private life, his bouts with his dad and his conversion to Christianity, which explains a lot of where he is coming from. It includes his belief that God personally chose him to be president of the United States, and his coming into his own, with the stunning, pre-emptive attack on Iraq. It will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors.â If financing materializes, âBush,â starring Josh Brolin, above, as the president in a screenplay written by Stanley Weiser, who wrote âWall Streetâ with Mr. Stone, will go before the cameras in April and could be in theaters by Election Day or by the inauguration of the next president. âIâm a dramatist who is interested in people,â Mr. Stone said, âand I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison and Alexander the Great.â.
