Vanity Fair released this photo from Oliver Stone's W., showing the Bush Administration. From left to right: Jeffrey Wright as Secretary of State Colin Powell, Toby Jones as Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, Dennis Boutsikaris as Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Dreyfuss as Vice President Dick Cheney, Josh Brolin as President George W. Bush, Thandie Newton as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Rob Corddry as White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, Bruce McGill as CIA Director George Tenet, and Scott Glenn as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

If you still had any doubts that this movie is going to be a comedy, I invite you to look at that picture of Richard Dreyfuss as Cheney. Come on, this has to be a joke, right?

If you think the photo looks familiar, that's because it's supposed to be a recreation of this 2002 Vanity Fair photo shoot of the real Bush cabinet members:

Looks even worse when you compare it to the genuine article, doesn't it? I hope this movie ends up being good. I really do, because Oliver Stone is due for a good film one of these days. But right now it's just so freakin' hard to take this movie seriously.
