    Bah.. was just about to post this! :D

    Expect it to keep getting yanked off YouTube as it's not supposed to have it's official premiere until tomorrow night on Access Hollywood.

    It's only a teaser and focuses too much on the actors and their resemblance to the real life players but it's looking good imo. I still reckon it's too early however and will attract the wrong audience. Most will view it as a parody due to Stone's media image or simply because it's about Bush.

    Stone excels at these kind of character portraits imo. He won't pull any punches, quite the contrary he's likely to exaggerate and distort Dubya's flaws but overall I suspect he'll be far more sympathetic to him than most would.

    Mostly I'm looking forward to seeing Dreyfuss as Cheney. :D

    TV spot here. Looks like Stone is definitely going for satire. In interviews he's been talking about Dr Strangelove.

    There's a really good interview with Stone here as well.

    Gees, Thandie Newton looks dog-rough! Not too unlike Condoleeeeza whatsherface though!

    Appatently Christian Bale was all set to play the lead role but pulled out at the last minute. Now that I would've liked to see.

    Stone said the film will be a lot less damning than people think (maybe he's mellowing?)
