He may be a lifelong Democrat, but Michael Douglas is reported to be in discussions to play the famously conservative Republican U.S. president Ronald Regan.

The Wall Street actor is being considered for the lead role in the Cold War drama, Reykjavik, which takes place over a few days in 1986, when Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev met for peace talks in the Icelandic capital.

The Wall Street actor is currently wrapping up shooting on Behind the Candelabra, the Steven Soderbergh-directed movie based on the life of Liberace.

Douglas stars as the flamboyant entertainer in the HBO film which also features Matt Damon, who plays his gay lover

The company is only following the road paved by Leni Riefenstahl who tried to put German cinema into propaganda service for Adoph Hitler. The Obamamedia have perfected and expanded her techniques far beyond her wildest imagination. Hollywood needs to be sacked and destroyed the same way the Romans destroyed Carthage.

Liberace, Yea

Reagan, Nay

Oh, good. Another piece of Hollywood-spewed propganda I will be sure to steer clear of.

Is there enough make-up in Hollywood to make Douglas look as strong and virile as Reagan was in 1986?

Another Hollywood hit piece.

You have that right. Unless a real President Reagan lover is chosen all the money they spend will go down the tube. The Margaret Thatcher movie would have done a whole lot better if they, likewise had chosen a real conservative actress.

jeez, let be the first in line for the ticket. I always want to see LIBERAL TYPES play a CONSERVATIVE ICON...

What's next? Michael Moore to play John Wayne?

Actually, I wonder how many of these rich Hollywood actors claim they are Dems, but when they get in the voting booth, vote Pub. Some of the more intelligent ones simply most know how their bread (wealth) is buttered. I can’t imagine them constantly voting against their self interests. Then again, .....

Heard Micheal Moore will be playing Neil Armstrong.
They had to build a Saturn Six rocket and the Lunar Lander will be cleverly lowered by a crane from low orbit.

Wonder how distorted it will be?
