Josh Brolin Looks Like George W On Cover Of EW

We’ve got the first image of this week’s edition of Entertainment Weekly featuring Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks as George W. Bush and Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s upcoming Bush biopic W

The magazine is said to feature more looks at the flick including a peek at the script, but I haven’t received my issue yet.

I’m a little bit taken aback by how much Josh Brolin actually looks like George in this picture.  I mean, he doesn’t really look like George, but he looks more like George than I would have thought Josh Brolin could have looked like George.  Can’t say the same for Laura, though. 

The movie itself is being directed by Bush hater Oliver Stone and, supposedly, will chronicle the life and presidency of the 43rd President of the United States of America.  Bush is reportedly portrayed in the film as a foul-mouthed, reformed drunk obsessed with baseball, Saddam Hussein and the conflicted relationship with his dad.

I can’t imagine this film being anything other than awful.

The rest of the cast includes Thandie Newton as National Security Advisor turned secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair, Rob Corddry as Ari Fleischer, James Cromwell as George Herbert Walker Bush, Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush and Jeffrey Wright as General Colin Powell.

Stone plans to release the film in November in the hopes of effecting the Presidential elections.
