“Reagan” is an upcoming biopic focused on the life and work of President Ronald Reagan, according to the movie’s official website.

It will star Dennis Quaid as Reagan and Chris Massoglia as Pat Boone.

Although the film is not focused on religion primarily, both actors have remarked on the deep faith displayed by Reagan throughout his life, according to The Christian Post.

President Ronald Reagan described himself as a Bible-believing born-again evangelical, per CBN. Ben Armstrong, who served as the executive director of National Religious Broadcasters in the 1980s, interviewed Reagan and asked him what he believed he needed for salvation.

I will be going to see this when it comes out

I was fortunate to serve part of my in the military service under Reagan, phenomenal Commander-in Chief.

I also vividly remember when he died in June 2004, it hurt so much I wept.

just saw some random medal ceremony with Biden, everyone was praying...

EXCEPT Biden! Just standing there looking around like a dementia patient while everyone else prayed for a LONG time

This guy is a joke.

I have come to believe that Reagan was a deep and true believing Christian, he is a rare thing among the famous and well known, the more you dig into his life the more impressed with how good and decent he was rather than learning about the hidden bad.

“President Ronald Reagan described himself as a Bible-believing born-again evangelical”

No wonder the Deep State hated him so much.

He and Nancy are buried at the Ronald Reagan Library, about 7 miles from me and the low flying military jets flew over my house. It was great! That movie might very well be showing at the library here.

I’ve seen D. Quaid interviewed recently. I got the impression that he may have made a decision for Christ.

My first presidential vote was for RWR’s second term.

I still can hardly watch videos or read about him, it just kills me to see how far we’ve fallen.

[Flaming Conservative]

Exciting. This means that I will get to meet him when I get to Heaven!

I've seen the trailer, and this movie looks promising. Those who fondly remember Reagan and the America during his time as president should bring a hanky.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

I worked with a fellow who was retired from USAF Airlift Command, part of his career transporting all the accoutrements of presidential trips. limousine, etc. He had met Reagan, Bush Senior, and Clinton. I asked him about Reagan.

His answer: "I loved that man." Said it all.

Reagan gave amnesty to 4 million illegals and created the PPT to make trillions of dollars for his bankster controllers.

I never liked ronnie.

Meanwhile, his wife was trying to talk with dead people

[roving]

He was lied to about granting amnesty. The Dems backed out on the deal they made

the media

Hi.

“Meanwhile, his wife was trying to talk with dead people”

So did Cankles, and she claimed she channeled Eleanor Roosevelt.
