We finally get a sneak peek of Oliver Stone’s W, the G.W. Bush biopic that has been in the news lately due to the Louisiana arrest of stars Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, now that the first trailer has hit YouTube. All I have to say is this: Bush lovers, the few that are left, of course, are going to hate this. Oh, and I didn’t believe it was possible to make Thandie Newton look like Condi Rice.
A spokesman for the Shreveport Police Department, whose officers were recently involved in the high-profile arrests of actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, says that Shreveport police exhibited nothing but "professionalism" while arresting the W stars, and that there's no proof of any officer calling Wright a "nigger," as has been alleged. "And if y'all Hollywood faggots don't believe me," the spokesman added, "y'all can kiss my lily-white ass, y'heah?" (J/K!)
Even more new information about that Josh Brolin-Jeffrey Wright bar brawl in Shreveport, Louisiana: TMZ is reporting that the "slur" mentioned in our earlier post came not from a fellow bar patron, but Brolin and Wright's arresting officers, who tased and pepper-sprayed the two actors before calling Wright a "nigger."
Update: Actually, both rowdy bar patrons and police officers called Wright a nigger. Nice to hear Louisianans of all stripes finding unity after Katrina.
Oh, The South, what are we gonna do with you?
That scuffle with Shreveport, Louisiana locals and police officers that resulted in the arrests of Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Wright and several others associated with the film W? Turns out it began after a good ol' Looziana boy hurled a racial slur at Wright.
Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, who are currently filming Oliver Stone's W, were arrested with four others involved with the film after cops were called to a Shreveport, Louisiana bar to deal with a rowdy patron. That patron was Brolin.
