Stone: 'Hollywood Hates Bush'

Filmmaker OLIVER STONE struggled to cast his new GEORGE W. BUSH biopic W, because too many actors loathe the U.S. president.

The director claims most of the people he approached to take roles in the movie were appalled by the idea of being associated with a project about the Republican president.

Stone - who eventually cast Josh Brolin in the lead role - explains, "They hate Bush so much, they can't understand why I'd want to make a movie about him. They hate him so much, they can't even imagine themselves playing him or playing anybody around him."
