Film director Oliver Stone has rounded out the top players in his George Bush biopic (named "W", naturally) after casting Josh Brolin of No Country For Old Men as the Decider himself.
Elizabeth Banks, an indie comedienne who had memorable roles in The 40-Year-Old Virgin and the Spider-man series, will play first lady Laura Bush. James Cromwell, best known as the kindly farmer from Babe, will play the first President Bush -- or, as W might say, 'my dad, who that guy tried to kill'. Finally, Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn will take on Barbara Bush.
But there are so many good parts left un-cast! Readers, we're eager for casting suggestions to help Stone make "W" more like Wall Street and less like the horrific Alexander.
I'll start off: Kevin Costner would make a perfect Al Gore. Stone showed he could make the most of Costner's vacant style in JFK, and besides, a little woodenness is important for 2000-era Gore.
As for Karl Rove, only one actor can do him justice, both in appearance and craven persona. And all you have to do is pry him away from that Spielberg flick.
