Max Payne topped the box office this week with W. trailing far behind and Beverly Hills Chihuahua just at the heels in third place. High School Musical 3: Senior Year opens this weekend with a huge audience base. The upbeat movie has a good chance of out dancing Payne to the top. We shall see come Sunday night.
Paul Cantelon’s sound track for Oliver Stone’s W. is brilliant with vivid tones and haunting emotions. I am sure once I see the film and listen to the soundtrack afterwards the movie will play again in my mind.
Each soulful melody will remind me of its scene — a real delight with rambunctious flavors.
W. looks like fun in this trailer. I am sure Oliver Stone and James Brolin had a fun time making this film. With the election just ahead, the audience is ready.
Oliver Stone’s W. trailer and teaser poster have me hook, line and sinker. I want to see this movie. Not because I want to know the “dirt” on Bush, but because Stone has drawn me into the story. Particularly, with this poster, there is truth here. What is a politician these days but a puppet.
I like this trailer. Don’t you? Josh Brolin looks so much like Bush — it’s amazing. The trailer tells a story of what the movie will be like: funny, caring, true to life.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Richard Dreyfus might make a trip to Oliver Stone’s White House, entering final negotiations to play Dick Cheney in the provocateur director’s upcoming “W.”
Cheney is the last major position in the Bush administration to be filled, which is occupied by the likes of Brolin (George W. Bush) Thandie Newton (Condoleezza Rice) and Elizabeth Banks (Laura Bush).
The 60-year-old Dreyfuss has never played a U.S. leader, though has had a few related roles. He starred as an opposition senator to Michael Douglas’ commander-in-chief in 1995’s “The American President,” as Alexander Haig in a television movie about Ronald Reagan, and played the president of a banana republic in the 1980’s comedy “Moon Over Parador.”
Check out the calendar for “W” – Is it well planned or what? The movie will be released in October, before Americans elect a new president. A DVD release will follow in January timed to Bush leaving office.
 “W,” the Oliver Stone-directed drama about the life and formative years of President Bush has been set for release on Oct. 17, giving the picture three weekends in theaters before the Nov. 4 presidential election.
“We don’t really know much about Mr. Bush beyond the controlled images we’ve been allowed to see on TV. This movie’s taking a bold stab at looking behind that curtain,” Stone said in a statement about the release date.
