MICHAEL DOUGLAS IS THINKING OF A WHITE RUSSIAN MOVIE REPRISAL ROLE PLAYING RONALD REAGAN

Ridley Scott is producing a film about Ronald Reagan‘s star turn from actor to US President. Mike Newell is slated to direct.

Industry news reports: “Michael Douglas may sign to play Reagan. The actor and active Democratic fundraiser is in discussions to star as the actor-turned-Republican President Ronald Reagan in the indie Reykjavik. Brit helmer Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is in talks to direct the film that once was being eyed by Ridley Scott as a directing vehicle.”

It’s specifically a USA-Russian historical movie.

The younger Douglas is always so good, whatever role he selects for the screen.
