While that project seems to be dead in the water, today we have word that Nicolas Cage may play Ronald Reagan in a much different movie about the former 80s President.
Back in April, we reported that Will Ferrell had agreed to star in and produce Reagan, where the actor was to play U.S. President Ronald Reagan as he slips into dementia during his second term in the Oval Office.
Page Six reports that Nicolas Cage has been offered the lead role of Ronald Reagan in a currently untitled project that will, “show the conservative president in a flattering light, infuriating the liberal Hollywood crowd.”
Back in 2010, we reported that a project also entitled Reagan, which was set up long before the Will Ferrell project, will be based on two best-selling biographies of the 40th U.S. president by Paul Kengor, entitled “The Crusader” and “God and Ronald Reagan.”
