Yeah, he is saying it will be a fair portrayal, but that tells me nothing. The Brolin effect and the fact that Stone didn't write it on his own gives me a little hope it will be good, but with the "sequel" to The Queen coming out and touching a bit on Bush and Blair I am not sure this is a film we need.

I'm not sure it is possible for the man behind Platoon, Born on the 4th of July, Nixon and a gosh darn documentary about Fidel Castro to be remotely right wing. Something tells me his bio of Bush is going to have some razor sharp teeth tearing our current lame duck prez to shreds. About it being any good on the other hand.... :( I guess we can only hope it's more like Salvador and less like Alexander.

I think Stone would find it very funny somebody called him right-wing

I'd rather see a movie humanizing Hitler and the Nazis rather than to watch this right-wing crap!

Actually, there is a movie that humanizes Hitler. It's called Downfall. It's brilliant. And by humanizing (and please don't mistake that as sympathizing with) Hitler, it makes his evil actions all the more scarier.

Hey Dangerman, look into some of Stone's comments about Bush, I don't know how right-wing it is going to be.
