"A movie about the 40th US president Ronald Reagan is in the works, says The Hollywood Reporter. X-Men and Fantastic Four producer Ralph Winter has teamed up with Mark Joseph and screenwriter Jonas McCord on the $30 million-budgeted Reagan. The film, based on Paul Kengor&amp;#039;s biographies The Crusader and God And Ronald Reagan, will begin with the 1981 assassination attempt and flash backwards and forwards to tell the life story of the actor-turned-politician. Joseph said of the project: &amp;quot;This is a great story. I&amp;#039;m just glad no-one else in Hollywood thinks so, or they&amp;#039;d have made this film by now.&amp;quot; The producer went on to blast the 2003 James Brolin-led miniseries The Reagans, which CBS relegated to its cable outlet Showtime after controversy erupted over its political bias. &amp;quot;Only in Hollywood could you make an insulting, condescending movie about a much-loved historical figure, hire an actor who loathes the man, watch it flop and then somehow conclude that Americans don&amp;#039;t want to see a movie about him,&amp;quot; Joseph added. &amp;quot;I watched Americans line up and wait for ten hours for the simple privilege of passing by his closed casket. They love this man.&amp;quot; Reagan is being targeted for a cinema release next year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
