Ronald Reagan’s life will be told under a $30 million budget. The movie will be released next year based on two best-selling biographies of the 40th U.S. president by Paul Kengor: “The Crusader” and “God and Ronald Reagan.”

Ralph Winter and Jonas McCord wrote the script.

The feature film will begin with the 1981 assassination attempt and tells Reagan’s story through flashbacks and flash-forwards.

According to THR, McCord describes Reagan’s childhood as “a surreal Norman Rockwell painting with his alcoholic Catholic father, devout Christian mother, Catholic brother and ever-changing boarders the family took in.”

No actors or director have been signed, and the producers are considering two distribution offers. They are in the midst of a final round of funding. THR is taking a poll to see you should play Ronald Reagan (Click here to cast your vote.)
