Bush Announces Film About Oliver Stone

WASHINGTON, DC - In what is perhaps a first glimpse into his post-presidential life, George W. Bush today announced plans to produce a film about Oliver Stone. Sources say the project is merely satire, and only very loosely based on the acclaimed director / producer's life. In it, the filmmaker falls on hard times due to the sluggish economy, and is reduced to making low-budget political hit pieces to pay off gambling debts and support a raging cocaine habit.

The film, currently under the working title Oliver Twisted, is a whimsical look at Stone's declining career. "I thought that making a film about a filmmaker would be ironical." said Bush, perched atop a newly acquired director's chair. The film is set to be released prior to the Academy Awards in February.

Leif Tilden, best known for his role as Donatello in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy, is cast to play Stone in the film, with Cheech Marin as Hugo Chavez, and RuPaul as herself. "We wanted the very best actors we could find." said Bush, speaking through a large megaphone. "We would love to get someone that was in Goonies, but unfortunately, people of that caliber just weren't available."

Other film projects rumored to be on the horizon for Bush are Flubber 911, a documentary of Michael Moore's incredible weight gain since the September 11th attacks, and Heat.com, a sci-fi thriller linking the onset of global warming to Al Gore's invention of the internet.
