I have the script for Oliver Stone's "W"
May 9, 2008 | Hildy

Posted on 05/10/2008 11:43:57 PM PDT by Hildy

I have a PDF of the script for this despicable movie. I've been told it's the actual, final script. I haven't even read it yet, just glanced through it and I wanted to throw up. If anyone's interested, freepmail me an email address and I'll send it to you. We could really plaster this over the internet and ruin everything for him, couldn't we....hmmm....Anyone have any other ideas????

By the way, did you all know this money is being financed by a Shanghai based group? So...to recap...a hit piece on a sitting President to be released before said President will leave office is being financed by Communist China during an election year. AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE.

Have sent my e-mail address. Thank you for the alert. I’m not surprised about the Chinese funding. Stone is so obsessed with conspiracies that he’s decided to participate in one.

Draft 2, dated October 15, 2007, of this script can be found at http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/photos/stylus/22342-w_script.pdf.

An AOL news posting Hollywood Too Conservative for Stone by Brandon Barker, dated May 8th 2008 10:14AM, states:

... we now know that Stone has had a hard time getting big-time actors to sign-on to play the Bush Administration's heavy hitters (Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld).

''You'd be amazed how many male stars of a certain age in Hollywood are Republicans,'' says Bill Block, CEO of QED, one of the producers for 'W'. ''I'm not going to name names, but a lot of them just didn't want to have anything to do with it.''

Stone is trying to get the film out in October, before the elections. Since he hasn't finished casting it yet, it's not clear he can make this date.

That’s the one I had...I thought it was a big deal...the Hollywood Reporter actually puts it out there for all to see? Isn’t that a bit odd?

Entertainment Weekly, also known as EW, has a cover story on this upcoming movie, at First Look: 'W,' Oliver Stone's Bush Biopic.

Scott Glen rocks

He always struck me as an Eastwood type. We'll see.

See post 6...apparently you can just download the script from there...why would they allow that???? We can still send it around to the blogs and have some fun with it, right?

There is a more detailed story going into some of the negatives of this upcoming movie at The Star (South Africa): Will Stone's Bush sink?.

Some paragraphs from this story:

Reactions to the script were mixed. Specific scenes are largely based in fact but they noted the screenplay contains inaccurate and over-the-top caricatures of Bush and his inner circle.

"It leaves you with the impression that the White House is run as a fraternity house with no reverence for hierarchy, the office itself or for the implications of policy," said Robert Draper, author of Dead Certain: The Presidency of George Bush.

"Everybody calling everybody else nicknames and chatting about whether to go to war as if they were chatting about how to bet on a football game misses the mark of how many White Houses, including this one, are run."

Jacob Weisberg, author of The Bush Tragedy, was sceptical about Stone's claim that he wants to make "a fair, true portrait" of Bush. "His saying he is going to be fair to Bush is like Donald Trump saying he's going to be modest."

At what point does Bush get blamed in the movie for global warming...on Mars?

On looking at that draft 2 that I posted a link to above, I see that the link I posted only has four pages of the script. It's just a sample.

Do you have the entire script, or just the four pages at the link I posted?

If you have the entire script, then you'll still likely be getting requests to send it via email.
