Jonas McCord ("Malice," "The Body") is writing the script for "Reagan" which begins with his 1981 assassination attempt and follows his story through both flashbacks and flash-forwards that will show how the once Hollywood actor became the leader of the free world.
Paul Kengor's two best-selling biographies--A Spiritual Life and The Fall of Communism will be used as the basis for the script.
Ralph Winter and Mark Joseph will produce.
No actors or director have been signed a yet, though final financing is being locked down now with a late 2011 release planned.
The TV mini-series "The Reagans" in 2003 was set o air on broadcast, but controversy over its seeming left-wing bias pushed it to air on cable instead with James Brolin as Reagan.
Can Hollywood make an honest biopic about Reagan without controversy?
