Casting for Oliver Stone's movie W, based on the presidency of George W. Bush, just continues to roll along and so far it all seems a little. . . absurd (the idea of Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush just makes me chuckle, for example). Today there's a poster, which gives us some new hints at what we can expect. I'm now willing to predict that this will be total and utter farce, given that the poster is simply a roundup of some of the most. . . questionable statements George Bush has ever uttered.
As for the latest casting news, Jesse Bradford (a.k.a. that guy from Bring It On and Swimfan) has been added to the group as Thatcher, president of Bush's fraternity. Shooting is underway as I type in Shreveport, LA and the movie will be careening toward a theater near you this October.
So, what do you make of all this? Will this movie be brilliant? Could you see it as a drama, or do, too, you think it'll be farcical?

Jesse is absolutely adorable. I loved him in Hackers!!
1They must be casting someone to play a young George W right? Don't get me wrong, Josh Brol in looks great, but there's just no way that he can pass for the same age group as this guy.
2I think that it will turn into a drinking game once it comes out of DVD. Everytime Dubya screws up, everyone has to take a drink! Not for lightweights!
3I know the movie is serious and I was already planning to see it anyway however casting Jesse will give some eye candy
(and he is wonderful actor.)
