Oliver Stone developing Chavez documentary
Franck Tabouring
Filmmaker Oliver Stone is moving from George W. Bush to Hugo Chavez.
According to Variety, Stone is currently working on a documentary about Venezuela's president. He's been on it for several months already, and he plans to have it ready next year.
The trade says the film will mostly focus on the criticism Chavez has faced both nationally and internationally. The Bush administration was also among his strongest critics.
Stone certainly has previous experience making docs. In 2003, he directed "Comandante," a film documenting his meeting with Cuban President Fidel Castro. He also helmed "Persona Non Grata" as part of the "American Undercover" series.
Stone most recently directed "W.," a drama based on the life and political career of George W. Bush.
