Elizabeth Banks is going to the White House to be America's first lady. The actress, who recently wrapped shooting
Zack and Miri Make a Porno, is in final negotiations to portray Laura Bush in
W, Oliver Stone's biopic on the life and presidency of George W. Bush.
Josh Brolin already is on board to play the president. Shooting begins in late April. Stone has said he plans to make "a fair, true portrait" of Bush, focusing on such areas as his relationship with his father, President George Bush, his wild youth, and his conversion to Christianity.
Banks, 34, starred in the three
Spider-Man films,
Seabiscuit and
The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
