Oliver Stone to make President Bush film (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

Director Oliver Stone's next film will be about US President George W Bush, he has told Daily Variety.

Stone, 61, said he wanted to make "a fair, true portrait" of the president that would contain surprises for "Bush supporters and his detractors".

But speaking to Daily Variety, he said he would not give a personal opinion of Mr Bush because "the film-maker has to hide in the work".

"Here I'm the referee and I want a fair, true portrait of the man," he said.

"How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?"
