Oliver Stone Casts Parents Of "W"

Where is the Clinton movie. If he's as popular as the media tells us you'd think people would want to see that.

Cromwell played a president in " Clear and Present Danger", which I thought was very much a fairly good likeness and rendering of Poppy.

He was corrupt in that movie, too. Didn't mind sending boys out to die for the country's secret agendas, as long as there was someone else to take the blame or clean it up.

I love Ellen Burstyn and I'm glad she has the work, but I hate seeing her portray Barbara Bush.

Barbara Bush should be computer generated. You know, like the Hulk.

[huhuhuhuhuhuh- I kill me..:) ]

Love Oliver Stones movies, but do we really need to see more of the Bushes
I can't think of one person who would be even slightly interested.

Oh, there are so many good ones:

Max Shrenck as W.
Colin Clive as Poppy Bush
Dwight Frye as any delusional Repuke lover/insect eater.
Reginald Marsh as Cheney ( he would do a REAL good job )

Ellen Burstyn played the mother of a demon-possessed child in "The Exorcist".

Her casting in "W": perfect.

These two are both excellent actors. Perfect for these roles.

I guess Satan and Lucretia Borgia were booked.

i can't believe someone beat me to the casting choice of our first president as the mother of evil.
note to o' stone , the formerly great director of such classics as 'u-turn' and 'nixon'. you , sir, must be one hell of a salesman, or have some great dope ; you apparently have secured the financing ,somehow, for this doomed enterprise. a sucker born every minute. may i suggest some casting choices now that this [horror, tragedy, comedy?] movie is being made? yes? good answer.
karl rove= elmer fudd
cheney=pumpkin head , available on hiatus from the halloween series
the twins=britney spears, in a boffo dual role
andy dick=andy card

Philip Seymour Hoffman as Karl Rove!

For some reason, that just makes perfect sense to me.

And the entire republican party will be played by..Alfred E Neumann.."What me worry?"

Hopefully Stone will include how important birth control can be in saving our country from itself!

I propose John Travolta as Barbara Bush. He could simply put a white wig over the make up he underwent in Hairspray - of course with alot more wrinkles and sagging flesh. Or if he's not available howabout putting a white wig on a fat prune? Nowadays with CGI it could work. I really don't give such rude comments but in her case I will make an exception.

A film about Bush Jr.'s formative years? What formation? It never even happened. What we have in this White House is a man who never grew up. Glad to see Ellen Burstyn has been cast though. She's perfect for the part of the Dowager Empress.

If these folks had been Dubya's parents, he'd have turned out OK. This casting is utterly unbelievable. ;-)

I hope the Bushs are depicted as the "crime family" they are.

Ellen Burstyn, even at this older age, is too pretty to play the
mean spirited Bawa Bush.

Brolin will probably be good, especially if he has a speech coach who teaches him to talk in broken english and smirk alot.

Who is going to play Dick Cheney??

Put a white wig on Sasquatch and you've got Barbara "Let them eat cake" Bush.

That hag who played Danny Devito's mother in "Throw Mama From the Train" would've been great as Babs.

Oliver Stone is good..but I wouldn't walk across the street to a free showing on this movie of the bushs. We KNOW about the Bushs...much more than I ever wanted to know and I am so sorry that I even know the name.

James Cromwell was in "Spider-Man"? That's news to me.

A shame that Cromwell is too old to play GW. As Stretch Cunningham on "All in the Family" he proved how adept he was at playing blithering dimwits. Also a shame that Peter Boyle died before he got the part he was born to play: Barbara Bush. In a wig like Giamatti wore in the John Adams series, Boyle would've been a dead-ringer for the former first lady. And a resourceful actor like Boyle would've figured out how to deepen his voice for the role.

James Cromwell is brilliant, both as an actor and as an activist. He will be excellent.
Ellen Burstyn is also terrific, but I would have tried to get Louise Fletcher to play the bug-eyed b itch.

Here's another suggestion: Steve Buscemi to play boytoy Jeff Gannon.

Jessica Tandy, although she was too small, would have been good.
(R.I.P. Jessica.) She played mean quite well.
