http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,2...&feed=worldnewsObviously it's an April Fool gag. But how did it end up being published on April 3rd? Was somebody at THE GUARDIAN under the impression that this was a genuine story?

Are you being sly?
This crazy movie is actually happening.

If Stone doesn't get Jude Ciccolella to play Cheney, he's blind.

Just because he's blind doesn't mean they're not out to get him. :ph43r:

According to the IMDB, Ellen Burstyn is playing Barbara Bush.
Tim Lucas - April 3, 2008 06:33 PM (GMT)
So, is this going to be Timothy Bottoms' big comeback, or is Stone going for offbeat casting again?

Josh Brolin, can you believe it?
Me neither.

Meh.

I had to look up Jude Ciccolella to remember who that was. You should have just said Mike Novick. Actually, he did turn up in Stone's WORLD TRADE CENTER. Something tells me a somewhat bigger name is going to be playing this role.
Right now it's Josh Brolin as W, Elizabeth Banks as Laura, James Cromwell as George H.W. and Ellen Burstyn as Barbara.
I'm still not clear if people actually thought that this was an April Fools joke or if they're only pretending that they did.

Apparently, you have to apply Enhanced Interrogation Techniques™ to get it out of Mr. Stevens. :ph43r:

I'm still not entirely certain that it isn't a joke! "You don't go after the Bushes and get to talk about it. Ya got me?". How real can this be?

"Penis! Penis! Big f**ng erect penis, ma!" - BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY
"And I'm still killing her f**ng duck. There! Murder! Death! Duck! Dead! Death f**ng dead! There, the duck is dead!" - THE DOORS
"You're not a bad-looking man, Mr. Garrison. When I get out, I'm gonna come visit you. Have some real fun!" - JFK
Something tells me they're on the level.

I believe Dubya actually talks like that.

I want to know who will be playing the Bush twins, if the film includes them. How about the Olsen Twins?
Tim Lucas - April 4, 2008 10:02 AM (GMT)
Or the Crazy Babysitter Twins!

I heard Stone actually wanted the Bush twins, but they're unavailable because they've enlisted and are serving over in Iraq. It's all strictly hush-hush. :ph43r:

Thandie Newton and Ioan Gruffudd cast. Now, who could they
possibly be playing?
I love Oliver Stone. He's silly.
