W has found the final piece in its administration puzzle. Richard Dreyfuss is in final negotiations to play Vice President and enthusiastic face hunter Dick Cheney. Dreyfuss will join the stellar cast that already includes Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Banks, James Cromwell, Ellen Burstyn, Jeffrey Wright, Thandie Newton and Ioan Gruffudd, among others.

Oliver Stone's movie about the current US President will start shooting this month, having been granted a waiver from the Screen Actors' Guild strike that could start next month. The movie will need to shoot and edit pretty quickly, since Lionsgate is hoping to get the movie out by October 17, before the election in November.
