One of the few successes Georgia experienced during its five-day war with Russia in August 2008 was on the public relations front. Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was a constant presence on Western television news pleading Georgia's case.But wait, there's more. The BBC reported this morning that Andy Garcia will play the role of Saakashvili in a movie by the director of Die Hard 2.The BBC claims Garcia usually plays in gangster or action movies, forgetting his Oscar-winning performance in Scent of a Woman and perhaps not aware that he produced and starred in The Lost City, which is set in his native pre-Castro Cuba. He is critical of the Cuban Communists, so perhaps it should not be a surprise that he is playing the leader of a country which has stood up to Russia.Reuters reported that Bosnian Serb film maker Emir Kusturica, who has done very allegorical work on wars in Yugoslavia, turned down offers to produce a film on the Georgian war. Russian media had reported earlier that he was considering making a movie telling the South Ossetian side of the story.
