In related news, I’ve been cast as Catherine the Great in George Lucas’ new flick, Czar Wars

That would make only slightly less sense (but would be considerably more tasteful) than casting Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan.

They could cast Rosie O'Donnell as the lead in The Jane Fonda Story.

With Sean Penn as Ronald Reagan, I suppose.

It follows from Meryl Streeep as Mrs Thatcher.

But don't give them ideas, Deadman. Horrible thought. I could actually see George Clooney being cast, but they couldn't get him to bury his hatred and play it.

So, Paco, does this meaan you're giving up your day job?

Makes you wan't to vomit, doesn't it? Of course, Liam Neeson as LBJ sounds like a winner as well.

YoJ: I'm havin' a real hard time seeing Neeson as LBJ.

Boy, that movie sounds like a sure-fire blockbuster!

They need a conservative to play Reagan. Maybe they can get Arnold to do it. He can say "Mr Gorbachev , tear down this wall!", then start blasting the wall with a minigun.

It's just another Hollywood hit piece, like "Game Change". I won't bother to see it.

Yeah, yeah, whatever - Forget it, Jake, it's Leftyland.

I wonder who's playing Ronnie? Surely not Penn, he's a midget.

As for LBJ, they could do worse than Don Moffat, who played him in "The Right Stuff"...

Deborah Leigh said...This won't make any money, because the Lefties hate the Reagans so much that even when one of their own is cast, they don't go. "Thatcher" came and went as did "Game Change". The only thing to come of either one was a write off for the studio. It's too much to hope for that they won't get a distribution deal.

Paco, what's next? A remake of "Mrs. Doubtfire"?
