Upcoming drama 'Reagan' is based on the book ' The Crusader : Ronald Reagan And The Fall Of Communism' (2006) by political writer Paul Kengor. It's scheduled for release later in the year. As far as I'm aware, principal filming was completed some time ago, but its release was put back due to the pandemic. This fuelled rumours that there were some production issues.

Latest casting report ...

Dennis Quaid as Ronald Reagan
Tommy Ragen as young Ronald Reagan
David Henrie as young adult Ronald Reagan
Penelope Ann Miller as Nancy Reagan
Nick Searcy as James Baker
C. Thomas Howell as Caspar Weinberger
Kevin Dillon as Jack L. Warner
Skip Schwink as Jimmy Carter
Mena Suvari as Jane Wyman
Jon Voight as Viktor Novikov
Trevor Donovan as John Barletta
Lesley-Anne Down as Margaret Thatcher
Aleksander Krupa as Mikhail Gorbachev
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Yasuhiro Nakasone
Robert Davi as Leonid Brezhnev
Scott Stapp as Frank Sinatra
Xander Berkeley as George Shultz
Moriah Peters as Loyce Whiteman
Amanda Righetti as Nelle Reagan
Justin Chatwin as Jack Reagan
Ryan Newman as Margaret "Mugs" Cleaver

The team around it is very suspect. I’ll leave it at that.

	You say it, you even think it, you can have it. Are we beginning to see the possibilities here?

LOL, wait Scott Stap is seriously playing Sinatra? What a weird casting choice. Why not get Sinatra's (possible) son Ronan Farrow instead?
