Will Ferrell to Play Former President Ronald Reagan in New Movie (EXCLUSIVE)

APRIL 27, 2016 | 11:51AM PT
Having already famously portrayed former President George W. Bush in various comedy sketches, Will Ferrell is now setting his sights on another former commander in chief.

Sources tell Variety Ferrell is attached to star as President Ronald Reagan in the Black List script “Reagan.”

Penned by Mike Rosolio, the story begins at the start of the ex-president’s second term when he falls into dementia and an ambitious intern is tasked with convincing the commander in chief that he is an actor playing the president in a movie.

The script was so popular following its announcement on the Black List, an annual catalog of the top unproduced scripts in Hollywood, that a live read was done recently done in March starring Lena Dunham and John Cho.

St. Ronald was fully in charge when he created "Morning in America" again. Won't it be fun to hear conservatives defensively recycle the Reagan mythical Bull Shit again?

Are they saying it was literally blacklisted? or is Blacklist now a brand, or something?
