/Film is on the scene at the 2009 New York Comic-Con! Although the NYCC (held at the Javits Center) is not nearly as overpopulated and out of control as its San Diego counterpart, there will still be some neat footage and panels this weekend that me and Devindra Hardawar will be covering for the site…

If you went to the movies this weekend, chances are you either saw: Max Payne, Oliver Stone's W. or Sex Drive We would like to know what movie you chose, and what you thought. Did Stone's W. lack focus or was it the Nixon for this decade? Was Max Payne all style and no substance…

The reviews for Oliver Stone's W. have begun to show up online, and aside from Josh Brolin's "magnificent" performance, the buzz is pretty mild: Jeff Wells writes: "Josh Brolin's performance as George W. Bush being dead perfect but -- and this, I believe, is a crucial distinction -- appropriately hollow. Which means that on some…

In a new interview with The Times UK, director Oliver Stone ponders the domestic box office prospects for his W. biopic, opening in limited release the 17th of this month. The Lionsgate film had a budget of $30 million---financed by Chinese investors---and arguably there is no precedent for how well it might do. High profile…

Lionsgate has released a 2-minute long extended movie trailer for Oliver Stone's W. The more and more I see from this film, the funnier it looks. I particularly love the way Josh Brolin shrugs about 30 seconds in. I think that shot says everything you need to know about this film. As always, share your…

Lionsgate has released a final trailer for Oliver Stone's W, which is basically an extended version of the recent tv spots. I think this is a vast improvement over the teaser trailer, because you get a much better understanding of the comedic/dramtic tone of the film. The juxtaposition of the war images with Bush's stupidity…

With potential for yet another mind-shattering Republican satire hanging in the balance, Vanity Fair has published the first look at the entire 2003 cabinet in Oliver Stone's W. There's a good overall likeness, sure, but I dig the quirky soap opera-esque caricature Stone seems to be shooting for. What better way to portray the walking…
Read MoreAccess Hollywood has another behind-the-scenes feature on Oliver Stone's W. They are on the set for a scene where George Bush practices an emergency water landing before the now infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech. I have yet to read the script, but I find it interesting that they would choose to include a little moment like…
Read MoreAccess Hollywood has a four minute behind the scenes look at Oliver Stone's W. If you ever had a doubt that Josh Brolin wouldn't be able to do George W, watch Brolin's delivery of the speech early on in this clip. It's amazing. Definitely a lot better than the professional George W. Bush impersonator that…

Lionsgate has sent us two high resolution versions of the new W. posters which have been seen around Denver. IGN also has a new billboard advertising the film (seen above). The caption reads "Anyone Can Grow Up To Be President". I'm really digging the outdoor advertising a lot more than the "What a Wonderful World"…

FilmSchoolRejects found some new teaser posters for Oliver Stone's George Bush biopic W. The posters were found downtown in Denver, Colorado, right next to the convention center, where not-so-coincidentally, the Democratic National Convention will be held later this month.

Read MoreYou special kids can stop meddlin' with your mashed potatoes because the last major bit of casting on Oliver Stone's W. is close to a done deal: ass tamale Richard Dreyfuss will play elusive veep Dick Cheney. Wow. There wasn't any question that Stone was going for the president's jugular with this biopic, but Dreyfuss…

Someecards has an awesome new ecard which takes aim at Indiana Jones, pictured above. Up to three "Battlestar Galactica" TV movies might get made later this year. But no deals have officially…
Read MoreUpdate: We've updated this story with a new photo. When I first heard that Josh Brolin was cast as George W. Bush in Oliver Stone's new film W., I was confused. Brolin is a great actor, but if I were to list 20 actors to play George W, his name wouldn't have made that list,…
