Several cast members of the upcoming Oliver Stone film “W,” about current president George W. Bush, were arrested Saturday morning in Louisiana after apparently interfering with police.

Josh Brolin portrays George W. Bush in Oliver Stone’s controversial new project, “W,” and the film fittingly received some controversial publicity this weekend, with its star, Jeffrey Wright and five others being arrested in Shreveport, La.

Police were called to the local Stray Cat bar after 2 a.m. concerning a bar fight. They were called to deal with a rowdy patron, reports the Associated Press, quoting police Sgt. Willie Lewis. 

Brolin, Wright and the others reportedly became involved in the situation and were subsequently charged with interfering with police, reports the Shreveport Times.

Brolin was booked into the city jail. He was released after paying $334 bail.

Wright was not listed in police booking records as of Saturday evening.

Oliver Stone began shooting scenes on “W” in Shreveport back in May.

Wright plays former Secretary of State Colin Powell. Elizabeth Banks, who portrays First Lady Laura Bush, and Thandie Newton also star in the film. They were not involved in the incident.

Stone wrote the screenplay with his “Wall Street” co-writer Stanley Weiser. The film will focus on the life and presidency of George W. Bush and Stone is set to adopt a “behind-the-scenes approach.”

In January, Oliver Stone told Daily Variety that this biopic would offer moviegoers “a fair, true portrait” of the current occupant of the White House, which “will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors.”

The Academy Award winner said his film would investigate the turning points in Bush’s life, “the demons in his private life,” his relationship with his father, President George H. W. Bush and his conversion to Christianity, among others.

Josh Brolin’s turn in “W” comes on the heels of three consecutive critically acclaimed films: “American Gangster,” “In the Valley of Elah” and “No Country for Old Men,” which won an Academy Award in February for Best Picture.
