Wow! hopefully this is a new role for the boyo! If so..... Good for him getting all those roles. Job well done Ioan!

Well,well,well.......Ioan as Mr. Blair,eh? I liked that side-by-side pictures of Ioan/Tony, Stevie. There's possibilities there, I think, with the make-up, and all. Yeah, not all that far-fetched........ ------------ Stone has always been kind of a controversial fellow, so this sounds pretty interesting to me............ GO WELSHBOY,GO!!!!!!! :Wales :mex.wave: :Wales

Mah. Some say Ioan is inf final talks, some say Ioan has the part. Some say filiming will start in a couple of weeks; some say May 21st. And icWales... it speaks of "months". http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/news/wales-news/2008/04/08/yo-ioan-lined-up-to-play-blair-in-eagerly-awaited-biopic-of-george-w-bush-91466-20732988/

Some say Ioan is inf final talks, some say Ioan has the part. I guess that you can read into 'final talks' is that there are still some details to be settled before the contract is signed, but Ioan has the part. Some say filiming will start in a couple of weeks; some say May 21st. And icWales... it speaks of "months". Actually, if there are roles yet to be cast, I wonder how they can start filming in a couple of weeks.

From what I've read, it would appear the script was initially written before the strike, so any changes were probably quick. The reports say that it is very talky, instead of action based and they want to get it out before the elections in November. Prep time and shooting locations for much of it are not likely to be as difficult as an action film. Since the film covers a large time framein Bush's life, it could be they are starting shortly with some of the less complex scenes or where continuity is not an issue while they prepare for others.

According to this (grain of salt, of course), shooting will start soon, very soon (some articles say April 21st). Filming is expected to begin any day in Louisiana. The movie should be in cinemas before Mr Bush leaves office next January. http://www.knowthelies.com/?q=node/1347

Thanks for sharing, Annee. Given that they have yet to start filming, I wonder whether it is viable that 'W' is released before Mr Bush leaves office next January. :dunno

I saw a short piece on "Inside Edition" yesterday,and they said that filming was due to start "in a few weeks."

Well, whether Ioan's role as Blair is large or small, it appears he's getting some good publicity out of it right now and that does help career wise.

Yeah,that's what I say,too! GO WELSHBOY!!!!!!!

Thanks for finding the various articles, annee! They make for very interesting reading. I think that there is no reason why Ioan would not make a good Tony Blair. I hope that this will bode well for more interesting parts coming his way in general. I must say that I cannot agree with the views of the Gary Slaymaker (film reviewer) in the ic wales article. Describing casting Ioan instead of Michael Sheen as bordering on 'sheer lunacy' is a bit much and saying that you cannot go from playing a character like 'Mr Fantastic' to 'Tony Blair' is as good as saying that (in his opinion)here we have an actor who can't act out different roles ;angry: I say give it all you've got Ioan! :Wales

Hi RA, Totally agree with you on that!!!
