Fresh off the disappointment that is Alexander,Oliver Stone has announced his intentions to portray the life of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
A spokesperson for Stone revealed his desire to focus on some of his female idols, saying “Oliver is one of Baroness Thatcher’s greatest fans. Alexander was slammed by critics, so maybe he thinks it’s time to concentrate on a great woman for a film. Thatcher was one of the most powerful political figures in the world and her life has been as colourful as any superstar.”
Word right now is that Stone wants his Thatcher to be played by 55-year-old Meryl Streep.
