Oliver Stone movie on Bush set for October release
May 12, 2008
Director Oliver Stone has landed a distribution deal with independent studio Lionsgate to get an upcoming film about President George W. Bush into U.S. theaters in October, shortly before the presidential election.
The political biography, to be called “W” and featuring “No Country for Old Men” star Josh Brolin as Bush, is slated to begin shooting in Louisiana on Monday, Lionsgate said on Friday.
Lionsgate is the distributor behind director Michael Moore’s commercially successful political documentaries “Fahrenheit 9/11″ and “Sicko.”
The film will open on October 17 in North America, said Lionsgate, which also will distribute the movie in Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
