The New York Times reports that Oliver Stone is preparing to direct a picture about the life of George W Bush:

Oliver Stone isn?t a fan of the decision to invade Iraq, but in his next film he wants to render ?a fair, true portrait? of President Bush, Variety reported. ?How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?? Mr. Stone asked. ?It?s like Frank Capra territory on one hand, but I?ll also cover the demons in his private life, his bouts with his dad and his conversion to Christianity, which explains a lot of where he is coming from. It includes his belief that God personally chose him to be president of the United States, and his coming into his own, with the stunning, pre-emptive attack on Iraq. It will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors.? If financing materializes, ?Bush,? starring Josh Brolin, above,  as the president in a screenplay written by Stanley Weiser, who wrote ?Wall Street? with Mr. Stone, will go before the cameras in April and could be in theaters by Election Day or by the inauguration of the next president. ?I?m a dramatist who is interested in people,? Mr. Stone said, ?and I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison and Alexander the Great.?
