So, James Cromwell goes from believing in pigs (though not ones that fly), to playing the father of the Federation in Star Trek, to now being the father of one of the most controversial presidents in US history. That’s quite the evolution for an actor. Ellen Burstyn will join him as Barbara Bush (also the senior one, and obviously not the young daughter).
Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic W is shaping up more and more to be a very interesting production. The cast continues to come together with well though out choices, and Stone promises for it not to be a mindless attack piece. If there’s one thing you can count on from Stone, it’s that his films will make you think. His World Trade Center might have been "too soon" for some, but it was also sorely underrated by most audiences and completely missed by even more.
