Stone's Next Dud Will Be Thatcher Bio

The thudding failure of his poorly-scripted, poorly-acted epic about Macedonian conqueror Alexander has taught director Oliver Stone a lesson: stick with what you know: poorly-scripted, poorly-acted epics about modern politicians. Next up: Thatcher!

Yes indeed, Stone's next project will be a biopic of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. It's no surprise that the director, who wants to cast Meryl Streep in the title role, is a "huge admirer" of the Iron Lady. A source states, "Oliver has always been enthralled by Baroness Thatcher. She was one of the world's most powerful political figures and her life has been as colourful as any superstar. He could have fun casting Reagan – and scripting the 'were they, weren't they lovers?' storyline." Great, but will there be peyote trips in the desert or gay sex with eunuchs? A nation waits with baited breath.
