"Bush," the new Oliver Stone movie.

By Ann Althouse

It will be "a fair, true portrait" ? and don't be so dubious. His Nixon movie is pretty good. Stone plans to focus on Bush's "relationship with his father, President George H.W. Bush, his wild youth, and his conversion to Christianity."

"It will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors," said Stone.

Who's the right actor to play George Bush? Josh Brolin. (Here's a photo slideshow. See the resemblance?)

[Stone] said Brolin was better looking than Bush, "but has the same drive and charisma that Americans identify with Bush, who has some of that old-time movie-star swagger."

Did Anthony Hopkins look much like Nixon?
