Jane Fonda will star as Nancy Reagan in The Butler
We reported earlier this month that Forest Whitaker will play Allen, who first started working at the White House under President Harry S. Truman in 1952, and retired in 1986 during Ronald Reagan's second term. Oprah Winfrey is in talks to play Allen's wife, and David Oyelowo is negotiating to play Allen's son. Liam Neeson and John Cusack are also circling the presidential roles of Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon.
Lee Daniels is directing The Butler from a screenplay he co-wrote with Danny Strong. No casting deals are fully locked in yet, although production is expected to begin sometime this summer.
The Butler comes to theaters August 16th, 2013 and stars Alex Pettyfer, John Cusack, Robin Williams, James Marsden, Alan Rickman, Minka Kelly, Jesse Williams, Liev Schreiber. The film is directed by Lee Daniels.
