Banking On Bush

Director Oliver Stone has found his first lady for the Presidential biopic W.

Elizabeth Banks is in final negotiations to portray First Lady Laura Bush when the film about President George W. Bush starts shooting next month according to The Hollywood Reporter.

She will play opposite Josh Brolin who has signed on as GWB,

Stone is writing a script with Stanley Weiser, who co-wrote Wall Street with him 20 some years ago.

Banks is a fine choice for this I like her work a lot--But I still wonder about the timing and tone of this flick, That said--Stone was surprisingly sympathetic in his treatment of Nixon...Still this is Stone we are talking about...
