Oliver Stone talks about his President Bush movie

Screen Daily has scored an interview with Oliver Stone about his upcoming biopic on the life and times of President George W. Bush. Some quotes:

Southparksaddamdevil "It's about his inner workings and his people," says Stone, who adds that Saddam Hussein is characterised in the movie "in a pretty funny way".

Network1 Stone says the tone of the film is "ideally in the vein of Network or Dr Strangelove. I was a young man when I saw Dr Strangelove and it still stays with me. It took a very grim subject and turned it into a serio-comic story and it worked. So those would be great models for the movie to live by."

Jfk "I have been so trashed for JFK, Nixon and others that I just pass on and say, OK, I am just going to do my perception of what happened. I am flitting through my time and all I can do really is to reflect what I see of that time."

.

How can this movie turn out to be anything but awesome?
