Rabbethan Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I hope he goes on a shooting rampage the day before the movie premieres. Ends up dying in a wall of lead from the FBI. Lionsgate would feel like idiots for not waiting a bit for the awesome ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yenta Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 What? You mean they didn't get Richard Dreyfus to play Dick Cheney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 That would be a close match.... The only actor rumored to be possibly playing Cheney so far is Paul Giamatti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 It's funny you mentioned Richard Dreyfuss... Richard Dreyfuss is Dick Cheney Source: The Hollywood Reporter May 22, 2008 Richard Dreyfuss is in final talks to play Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's W, says The Hollywood Reporter. The role is the last major position in the Bush administration to be filled; the West Wing is already occupied by the likes of Josh Brolin (President Bush), Thandie Newton (Condoleezza Rice) and Elizabeth Banks (Laura Bush). The QED-produced film, which has been granted a waiver by SAG, begins shooting this month in Shreveport, Louisiana. Lionsgate will release the movie on October 17, before election day, followed by a DVD release in January, when Bush leaves office.

Rabbethan Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 So I guess your into assassinating presidents? There is a giant difference between an assassination and the police taking down a killer on a rampage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
