New Trailer: W.

Ooooooh, this one's going to be strange. The new teaser trailer for the George W. Bush biopic is out, and the Oliver Stone film looks delightfully wicked. It's a little odd to see people that are still key players in the American political scene being portrayed in a film. Stone seems to play up that fact by showing us every single one of them, with a handy caption to tell us who they are.

It will be interesting to see if Stone sticks closely to the facts in this film. That would make the stronger statement, the ability to illustrate the oddity of Bush's presidency without embellishment, but the temptation to take liberties is probably pretty damn hard to fight as a director.

At any rate, I'm sure fairly scandalous tales can be woven from the lives of many past presidents and their life journey to the White House, but the decision to go after the sitting president is a pretty ballsy move.
