The Publics

Ex-Goonie Josh Brolin will play Dubya in Oliver Stone’s upcoming biopic of the most unpopular president in American history. The film will be released into theatres this October, coinciding with the general election.

From the Entertainment Weekly First Look:

”You’d be amazed how many male stars of a certain age in Hollywood are Republicans,” says Bill Block, CEO of QED, one of the film’s producers. ”I’m not going to name names, but a lot of them just didn’t want to have anything to do with it.” According to Stone, even some of the town’s young Democrats couldn’t be persuaded. ”They hate Bush so much, they can’t understand why I’d want to make a movie about him,” he says. ”They hate him so much, they can’t even imagine themselves playing him or playing anybody around him.”
