Once In A Lifetime: 'W' Bush TV Trailer Features The Talking Heads, More Absurdist Comedy

Ok, this TV trailer for Oliver Stone’s “W” is distinctly different from the film trailer we’ve seen and really pumps up the comedy/absurdity angle. Set to the Talking Heads’s “Once In A Lifetime,” we see Josh Brolin as George W. Bush telling his mother Barbara (Ellen Burstyn) that he’s been touched by the hand of God and should run for President (much to her shock and awe) and showcases some of the friction displayed in the script between the President and VP Dick Cheney (Richard Dreyfuss), who seems to have utter contempt for his privilege and idiocy (Bush calls Guantanamo Bay, “Guantaramera,” after the famous Cuban song and Cheney corrects him with utter disdain). “W” appears to still be on track for its October 17 release date, but Stone has already said he’s racing towards the deadline and Lion’s Gate has already had to push back press screenings due to its incompletion.
