Looks more like a late-era Alec Baldwin.

mr_a		2012-09-12 01:14:31 PM

Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan?

Bad enough her politics are, IMHO, borderline traitorous. But she should at least have some strength in her convictions and not make money playing characters that she hated and considered inhuman.

FTA: Also cast are Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, James Marsden as John F Kennedy and Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B Johnson.

Cusack, Marsden, and Schreiber I can see, but Williams as Eisenhower?

He looks more like Al Gore than Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, there's something...off about the look. It doesn't make me think at all of Reagan.

He seems a bit pudgy for the role. Reagan always looked slim.

"Jane Fonda is taking on the role of Reagan's First Lady Nancy Reagan"

That has GOT to be a troll. Right wingers are gonna go nuts.

If it were anyone but Daniels in the director's chair,I'd think so.

BTW....I highly recommend that all Rickman fans check out the movie "Bottleshock".

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-09-12 03:15:39 PM

His chin's too weak to make it really convincing

wee		2012-09-12 03:44:52 PM

None of those can even come close to Day-Lewis as Lincoln.

DrowningLessons		2012-09-12 03:46:49 PM

An actor playing an actor that became president. I do not know what to make of this.

Also, how the hell is Rickman going to do anything approximating Reagan's voice? I'm not doubting his acting ability, but Alan's voice is 1) Deep, 2) Sexy and 3) Not at all Reagan's. Is this going to be a Tony Hopkin's Nixon thing, rather than a Frank Langella's Nixon?

The_Sponge: BTW....I highly recommend that all Rickman fans check out the movie "Bottleshock".

Agreed, I love this little film!

Janeane Garofalo could squeek out a lavender scented fart and right-wingers would go nuts.

I knew a kid growing up, his uncle was one of RR's personal chefs. During the last few months of his time in office, when everyone knew something was wrong with him the uncle told his nephew he use to call up for the weirdest stuff to be made for no reason. One time I guess RR personally called him and asked for a 5 tier wedding cake. He asked for what, but RR said he just wanted it. The guy goes ok, and made it. I hope that makes it into the show.

Oprah got a big head!
She's got Buddy Ebsen beat!

Saiga410		2012-09-12 04:55:27 PM

Janes politics may not line up with Nancy's but dang is that a pretty good physical/look matchup. Rickman just looks off.

I want to see Cusack as Nixon... thats just no... no... somehow I see Nathan Lane doing a convincing Nixon over Cusack.

I hope they include the story where Reagan killed a wizard.

Rickman has always played convincing villains.

Yeah it is.

JoeJitsu		2012-09-12 05:22:10 PM

I'd watch Rickman read the phone book but I think I'll avoid this unintentional laff-fest. It probably should be called "Plan 9 from the White House".

Ow! That was my feelings!		2012-09-12 05:22:43 PM

dittybopper: Mentat: mr_a: Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan?

Exactly and what's the point? Right out of the gate they piss off potentially half the audience. Don't want their money? Don't care? Maybe the point is to troll and give a big FU to Reagan supporters, but it seems like a stupid casting move if the point of making movies is to make money.

Really?

T.rex		2012-09-12 05:33:12 PM

Die Hard was on last night.. Dude has aged pretty well, he doesn't look all that different. I still think Hans Gruber is the best villain in movie history. I might've said Darth until Hayden Christianson ruined it all.

Antimatter		2012-09-12 05:34:41 PM

Jane Fonda as Nancy? I'm loving this.

I saw the picture and didn't realize it was Hans Gruber, thought the actor playing Reagan was Bob Odenkirk.

I know, right? For all the times they've made silly claims that she was a traitor, now she get to play the wife of an actual traitor.
