Poster For Oliver Stone's W
Published 6/5/2008 at Cinema Blend News
Poster For Oliver Stone's W The idea of Oliver Stone making a biopic out of an unpopular sitting president is pretty weird, so I guess it should be no surprise that the movie’s first teaser poster is pretty weird too. A bigger version of the poster to your right can be found over at ioncinema . As a teaser, I’m not sure how effective it is. You’d have to get pretty close to it to make any sense of it, though I guess the letter “W” has become a symbol for Bush, at least it was back when people weren’t too ashamed to put it on the car. It’s kind of like Superman’s “S”, except ...

First Look: Oliver Stone's W Teaser Poster

... , one of the more talked about films this year will certainly be Oliver Stone's W. As filming continues in Louisiana for a quick October release, we get our first look at some of the artwork behind the project from IONCINEMA.com. In discussing the film, Stone has often said it will be a fair portrayal of the 43rd President. Seeing this material and the many "Bush-isms" is pretty much the writing on the wall for how this will pan out. That's not to say Oliver's previous statements were wrong; portraying the facts can certainly be considered a fair ...

... have a pronunciation key, so everyone knows how funny it is how Bush pronounces 'W'--make it sort of like a dictionary entry. While we're at it, also throw something up about what an unlikely president he is. And maybe a quote--one of those goofy things Bush is known for saying. Two quotes, maybe? A dozen--let's go with a dozen. Is there still room for a picture of Bush wearing a dunce cap, and using a bomb as a pacifier? No? OK, we'll save that. I just hope this isn't too subtle."

... Meanwhile, the recently revealed "W." poster (subtitle: "The Improbable President"), which lists out G.W. misspeakings and malapropisms, seems to indicate that Stone's film will be a sharper-edged than his earlier sallies of "fair, true portrait" have augured. ...

‘W’ Gets Satirical Poster, New Cast Member [In Production]

... Oliver Stone satire. And because I’d rather vote for Barack Obama over Bush, that doesn’t make Obama a better film character. Far from it, I think this is going to be a fun film. I mean, come on, they have Scott Glenn as Donald Rumsfeld—“Put the WMDs in the basket. Put the f*cking WMDs in the basket.” Sound Off: Love him or hate him, you have to admit he’s entertaining.
