Richard Dreyfuss, who had his last big appearance in box office flop ‘Poseidon,’ will take the role of Dick Cheney in ‘W.,’ the George W. Bush biopic by Oliver Stone. Josh Brolin, the guy who takes the money in ‘No Country for Old Men,’ will play Bush, as seen in the cover below — don’t be afraid, you can click it.

The $30 million project will start shooting in Shreveport this month and is targeting an October release, just before the elections. The script is penned by Stanley Weiser, who also wrote the famous business movie ‘Wall Street’ for Oliver Stone. This is turning out to be an interesting cast. If the script is any good this could actually be worth it.

Tom Cruise is going to star in ‘The 28th Amendment’ as none other than the President of the United States of America. Well, as long as he’s acting it’s fine by me. The big budget Warner Bros. thriller follows the story of president Ben Cahill, who finds out the government is actually run by a secret cabal.

Denzel Washington is the leader of the cabal and wants Tom Cruise dead. In the movie, that is. ‘Transformers’ and ‘Mission: Impossible III’ writer Alex Kutzman wrote the script, which might explain the connection to Cruise. I’m expecting something quite mediocre.
