Josh Brolin will play the chimp in Oliver Stone's biopic...
Josh Brolin, currently receiving rave reviews for his slow-burning performance in the Coen brothers' No Country For Old Men, is to play the current US president, George Bush, in a film to be directed by Oliver Stone.
The Platoon director, who has been one of Bush's most virulent critics, calling him "the wrong leader at the wrong time" in 2005, says his biopic will be "a fair, true portrait of the man" and will "contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors".

8. Sorry to disappoint Mr. Stone's detractors, but I've generally like his films
and will plunk down ticket money for this one as well.
