In Shreveport, Louisiana, Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, and other members of the crew filming an Oliver Stone movie, were arrested during a bar fight early Saturday morning, reported the Associated Press.

Brolin and others were booked and posted the $334 cash bond to be released. There was no word from police as to whether they could be released. The Times of Shreveport said they are part of the Oliver Stone film, W., about President George W. Bush.

Filming began in May in Shreveport. Brolin is to play President Bush and Wright plays his former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. Elizabeth Banks plays Laura Bush, Ellen Burstyn and James Cromwell play the elder Bushes and Thandie Newton plays Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, according to AP.

W. is Stone's third presidential film, following Nixon and JFK. He was also director of Born on the Fourth of July as well as Platoon. The director has quickly gotten the attenction of investors in Hollywood and told AP that the film is to focus on the life and presidency of Bush. He said it is to be "a fair, true portrait of the man. How did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?"
