Our strategery is simple: Never misunderestimate the power of a good cast. With George, Laura and the senior President Bush all cast for the upcoming Oliver Stone biopic "W," we wanted to know which famous thesps should fill out the rest of the cabinet. While we have no idea if any of these characters actually appear in the film — and, granting that, how big their roles are — below are our choices for some of the most senior members of Bush's brain trust. Sound off in agreement or disagreement below.

Donald Rumsfeld: You go the movies with the cast you have, not the cast you wish you had ... but if we had just one wish, it would be for the two-time secretary of defense to be played by Tommy Lee Jones, that master of controlled rage, whose eyes hide a thousand secrets and regrets.

Colin Powell: Jeffrey Wright, the role is yours. You break it, you buy it. Read more...

"Total Recall," "Blade Runner," "Minority Report," "Paycheck" – for years Hollywood has mined the twisted tales of science-fiction author Philip K. Dick to craft blockbuster movies. Now, seemingly, it's the author's own life that's all the rage.

While "Your Name Here," an unlicensed biography starring Bill Pullman and Taryn Manning, eyes a Sundance debut, Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti is setting his sights on a competing Dick project, titled "The Owl in Daylight."

"There's a guy writing a script right now," Giamatti told us.

The "The Owl in Daylight," which Dick was unable to finish before his death in 1982, is a complicated tale that involves Ed Firmley, a B-movie composer, a race of aliens that have evolved without the ability to hear sounds, and our deeply held believes about art, happiness, and, oh yeah, heaven. You know, light stuff.

But if reading the wiki synopsis makes the story sound complicated, that's nothing compared to how Giamatti and Co. are handling Dick's life – as a sort of Charlie Kauffman-esque experiment in blurring fiction and reality. Read more...

So says director Michael Davis in his latest column for MTV.com, who reveals that Paul Giamatti channeled none other than Bush's ex-chief-of-staff for his turn as a baby-hunting villain in "Shoot 'Em Up," the balls-out action romp starring Clive Owen and Monica Bellucci.

"I tell him that I don't want to push him in a certain direction for this part," writes Davis. "Instead, I'd love for him to create a character beyond the page. He says he'd like his character to be based on Karl Rove -- a seemingly bookish guy who exercises power behind the scenes. I like it. His character turns out to be way more flamboyant than Rove ... but I like how our free-flowing conversation started making the character better than what is on the page."

Still no word if Owen's manic-gunslinger was based on Condi.
