Venezuela’s Coup Not Set “By” Stone


It looked like Oliver Stone got a peculiar spokesperson to announce his new film venture: Hugo Chavez.

The Venezuelan president said during the last allocution of his Sunday program Aló President that Oliver Stone would join forces with British producer John Daly to film a movie about a 2002 Venezuela coup that briefly ousted him and was allegedly supported by the U.S. The information was, however, a lie.

Indeed, Oliver Stone rushed to deny Chavez's annnouncement: "Rumors that I am directing a film about the 2002 coup in Venezuela are untrue and unfounded," said the actual spokesperson of Stone.

Don't blame it on Chavez, Oliver Stone recently produced an apologetic film about his personal friend, perennial gerontocrant, Fidel Castro. It's just natural to wait anything from him.
