Remember Fidel in Comandante and more recently the biopic W? His next project features Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and the leftist movement in Latin America. Stone was present in February when Chavez mediated the release of hostages held by the FARC in Colombia and has been tagging along other Chavez functions as he continues to film for the documentary expected to premier next year. Word on the street is that Stone is also working on a docu of Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Check out this creepy video from 07 where Stone and Chavez show off their bilingual skills and Stone says he is there to represent "the good American".

The scene: the Cumbre Iberoamericana in Santiago Chile, a bit over a week ago. Most of Latin America’s heads of state (and Spain) were meeting for this annual, uneventful summit, when it came Spanish President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero’s turn to take the mic. At
