(CNN)Will Ferrell has reportedly abandoned plans to play President Reagan after outcry over portraying the former world leader when he had dementia.
The NY Post reports the actor has pulled out of the project.“The REAGAN script is one of a number of scripts that had been submitted to Will Ferrell which he had considered,” Ferrell’s spokesman told the paper. “While it is by no means a ‘Alzheimer’s comedy’ as has been suggested, Mr. Ferrell is not pursuing this project.”According to Variety, the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member was set to star as President Ronald Reagan in the planned “Reagan” film. The publication reported that “the story begins at the start of the ex-president’s second term when he falls into dementia and an ambitious intern is tasked with convincing the commander in chief that he is an actor playing the president in a movie.”But the comedy project did not go over well with some who take exception to such a portrayal of Reagan, who had Alzheimer’s disease in his later years.
This movie script shows those “sensitive” Hollywood liberals in full action once again.
Liberal “hate movie” is the exact right term.
“Later years ” is generous .
Someday we will find out who was actually President his last term ( the 80’s version of the second Mrs Woodrow Wilson )
You, too, can’t see past your hate, Mark. This movie was about making fun of an old man as he loses his mind to a devastating disease. Yet, because it was to be about a president you don’t like, you seem to find that acceptable.
They could have solved the problem by making up some fictional president and say he was a democrat.
