Richard Dreyfuss might soon be joining Oliver Stone's W, his upcoming film about the Bush administration. Dreyfuss, if you're mentally perusing the Bush cabinet, is in final talks to play veep Dick Cheney.
Says the Reporter, the role is the last major one in the Bush administration to be decided for the flick. The White House already has Josh Brolin as the prez, Thandie Newton as Condi Rice and Elizabeth Banks as the First Lady, Laura Bush.
The role would of a U.S. leader would be a first for Dreyfuss, but he has played a senator in The American President, not to mention his unrelated role as the UFO-obsessed dad in Close Encounters of the Third Kind — which may or may not be so unrelated, after all. Is Dreyfuss the right pick to play Dick? And how will Stone handle this latest bit of political drama? — Anna Dimond
