Oliver Stone’s W Trailer is Beer-Filled, Confusing in Nature

A cynical look at Oliver Stone's upcoming W

The first trailer for Oliver Stone’s upcoming film W. has hit the web earlier this evening. And at first glance, I have absolutely no idea what to make of this film. As we’ve discussed before, Josh Brolin doesn’t look too bad as the current President in his younger years, but I am still not gathering the tone. Is it supposed to be a dramatic, faithful take on the subject? Not sure. How about a parody? Not quite.

I don’t know — maybe all of you can figure it out when you check out the trailer below.

The trailer can also be seen in HD over at AOL Moviefone.

yeah that looks more of a dramatic movie than a parody or satire..
The tone and feel of it looks like this film is gonna attempt to make us feel sorry for Bush?

This is really easy to answer ifyou know a littleabout our fine president. He was a crazy Frat boy and bassically a C student. That got strings pulled because of his Father. The movie is going to show people like you Neil Miller what he was and how ridiculous it is that he is the president.

This has "Farce" written all over it. I am SO looking forward to this. Let's hope it's Nixon crossed with Dr. Strangelove. I mean, James Cromwell as George H.W. Bush, how can it be anything else?

One man's struggle to find his true self...

This is going to be Rocky 3 except with more Politics.

I pity the fool.

I agree with Joe on this one !

This film won't be a guilt fest, its gonna be a roast!

I sure hope the films ends with bush on the Aircraft Carrier with the Mission Acomplished , banner behing him. The same banner that the admin had air-brushed off most media archives.
