Thandie Newton has been cast to play Condeleeza Rice in Oliver Stone’s W.
The film will explore the curious life and times President George W. Bush. The cast also features Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men) as W, Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush, James Cromwell as George Bush Sr. and Ioan Gruffudd as former British prime minister Tony Blair.
Color me very intrigued! Can’t wait to see Thandie’s interpretation of Condi Rice, a woman who is very brilliant but uses her powers for evil and not the kind of evil where someone steals a script from a friend, gets the role and wins an Oscar but the kind of evil where people die because of a misguided foreign policy.
