“Elizabeth Banks is going from the world of adult films to the White House.

The actress, who recently wrapped shooting Kevin Smith’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” is in final negotiations to portray Laura Bush in “W,” Oliver Stone’s biopic on the life and presidency of George W. Bush.

Josh Brolin already is on board to play Bush in the biopic, which begins shooting in late April in Shreveport, La.”

Oh, boy! Newly created history by Oliver Stone.
I'm reminded of the famous letter Harry Truman wrote to a columnist/critic when the latter panned daughter Margaret Truman's singing. The sitting president promised to punch the guy in the nose if he ever met him. Where are people like Harry when we need them?
Margaret Truman Daniel died this past January:

I guess I'd need to see Laura Bush in that t-shirt before I decide how I might respond.

Hahahaha! First daughter Barbara Bush my crush!

I think it's insulting to Laura though, to have a porn star represent her. Like there aren't better actors with more respectable and credible qualification?! What's wrong with Julia Stiles or Kirsten Dunst?

With Oliver Stone involved, I'm surprised he didn't cast Amy Winehouse in Laura Bush's role.

Ahha. Thanks. I misread the article. After reading that wikipedia link, I remember her in the Spiderman movies as the girl in the news room.
