The crew members had just wrapped up work on the new film "Mena," Universal Pictures said in a statement.

Wonder who they got to play Bush and Clinton in that film?

Mena is an upcoming thriller film directed by Doug Liman and written by Gary Spinelli, about the life of Barry Seal, a former TWA pilot who became a drug smuggler in the 1980s and who was recruited later on by the DEA to provide intelligence. Wikipedia

Depends. IMDB has George W. Bush and Oliver North on the characters' list, but not Clinton. Wikipedia says Brian Dennehy plays Clinton (which doesn't sound right age-wise).

Doug Limon, the director, is the son of Arthur Limon, the Democratic Counsel in the Iran Contra investigation, so it's probably more of an anti-Bush than an anti-Clinton movie.

You can google "Barry Seal" for more and his allegations about the Bush brothers. It sounds like the movie was set up to attack Jeb Bush, who the film makers may have figured would be the Republican nominee.
