It’s time to say “I told you so.” A couple months ago, we heard about casting news for Elizabeth Banks - she was set to play First Lady Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s biopic titled W.. I knew at the time it was strange casting. After all, Elizabeth Banks is a wonderful comedic actress, and incidentally superhot.
The Bad and the Ugly has the first glimpse of both Elizabeth and her costar Josh Brolin as the First Couple. From the cover of an upcoming Entertainment Weekly:
Doesn’t she look like she’s about ten seconds away from making an inappropriate joke?
W. is set for a 2009 release and also stars Thandie Newton and Ioan Gruffudd.
Release Date 9/5/2008 
Elizabeth Banks totally look like she’s doing a SNL skit, not a feature length film that we’re supposed to take seriously.
Exactly! I feel like no matter how serious she’s trying to be, I’m still going to think she’s funny.
