Richard Dreyfuss is reportedly in final talks to play Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's biopic of US President George W Bush.
No Country For Old Men's Josh Brolin is playing Bush (we still love that picture of Brolin) and will star alongside Elizabeth Banks (Laura Bush) and Thandie Newton (Condoleezza Rice). And it looks like Dreyfuss will play Brolin's vice president in the sure to be controversial movie.
And if Dreyfuss does land the part it won't be his first political role - he played a senator in 1995s The American President and former US Secretary of State Alexander Haig in a TV movie about Ronald Reagan.
Stone has promised that the film will be a fair and accurate portrayal of the man and his life. He told Entertainment Weekly, "Bush may turn out to be the worst president in history. I think history is going to be very tough on him. But that doesn't mean he isn't a great story. It's almost Capra-esque, the story of a guy who had very limited talents in life, except for the ability to sell himself.
"The fact that he had to overcome the shadow of his father and the weight of his family name — you have to admire his tenacity. There's almost an Andy Griffith quality to him, from A Face in the Crowd. If Fitzgerald were alive today, he might be writing about him. He's sort of a reverse Gatsby.''
The film will be released next year.
