Report: Ronald Reagan biopic is on it’s way to the big screen…

This was bound to happen and yes, it is happening. A Ronald Reagan biopic is on it’s way to the big screen. The film will focus on his life from his childhood to his Hollywood life to being president, all the way up to his death in 2004. The film will be adapted by two different novels, “The Crusader” and “God and Ronald Reagan”. The goal with the biopic is that they want to avoid the controversial mistakes from the 2003 mini series, “The Reagans”, which caused an uproar through the entertainment world. For now, no casting and no director has been confirmed yet, but we will hear about those soon. Read more from the Hollywood Reporter.

Who should play Ronald?

I just hope they won’t give the role to Leo Dicaprio, Matt Damon or Johnny Depp for the young Reagan.

An actor would have to match the young Reagan’s look, here is the young Reagan here:

I would pick either Ethan Hawke or Christian Bale to get the young Reagan.

For the old Reagan, I’d say give it to Fred Ward. Why Fred Ward? Because he looks almost identical to Reagan, on top of that, Fred already played Reagan in a movie once called, “Farewell”. Why not have Fred play him again? I’d say go for it!!!
