"Reagan" Headed To The Big Screen

Ronald Reagan is returning to American movie theaters next year. According to "The Holllywood Reporter," a biopic about the late film star-turned-U.S. president is on track for a 2011 release. The project -- titled "Reagan" -- will trace the 40th Commander-In-Chief's life from his days as a boy to the height of his power in the Oval Office. "Reagan's" script draws on two biographies about the man, "The Crusader" and "God and Ronald Reagan," both written by Paul Kengor. No casting announcements have been made yet for the project.

It's not the first time that the world leader known by many as "The Gipper" has been the subject of a film. Showtime's "The Reagans" featured James Brolin in the role of Ronald Reagan in 2003.
