There is nothing funny about Alzheimer’s, and yet someone in Hollywood pitched the idea that doing a Ronald Reagan movie, starring Will Ferrell, would be just what the entertainment world needed. For those across the nation who have had a loved one succumb to Alzheimer’s, the very idea of satirizing the disease is beyond the pale.
The film, labeled as a comedy, would have satirized the “tragic battle” that President Reagan faced with the disease. It was to be based off the 2015 Black List script, which focuses a fictional story of Reagan winning re-election by a landslide and then soon after beginning the descent into dementia. In the film, a Reagan aide must persuade the President that he is an actor, playing the President in a movie.
Will Ferrell, under the banner of Gary Sanchez Productions, was to film and produce the work.
However, there has been so much blowback from the announcement that Ferrell has backed off.
Read the letter that Patti Davis, Reagan’s daughter wrote to Ferrell on the next page.
REAGAN wasn’t shot because he was a good president! !!!!it was because he was a threat to America! !!!VOTE HILLARY 2016!!!! AMERICA WANTS BILL BACK NOW! !!!!
There is s first for everything! I never thought a liberal could display good sense!
Stand your ground
Glad he came to his senses.
Your still a baby because your post was childish gibberish. Nothing you said made sense or was true. Reagan was such a beloved President that even the king of comedy bowed to his memory and the one’s who revered him. Reagan made America great after Carter screwed the pooch…
We do and his name is Barack Obummer. Welcome to the club you fool.
Now you are going to vote for a woman who lets Americans be killed and who has Alzheimer and the soul of the devil.
This movie about REAGAN would be hella funny he was a joke anyways!!! 95% of AMERICANS would have a good laugh at the movies!!!
Disrespectful POS!!!!! IMBECILE
Good idea Will!! Might have cost you a career!
