There’s a new movie in the works called “The Butler.” It’s about Eugene Allen, a real-life White House butler who worked for eight different presidents. And they’ve got some pretty interesting actors lined up to play those presidents and their wives.
For starters, they’re going to try to pass off Matthew McConaughey as JFK. Minka Kelly will play his wife Jackie. John Cusack will play Richard Nixon. Alan Rickman of “Harry Potter” fame will play Ronald Reagan and Jane Fonda is playing his wife Nancy. Oprah Winfrey is playing the butler’s wife and it looks like Forest Whitaker will be playing the butler. Liam Neeson is rumored to be playingLyndon Johnson. The movie is being directed by Lee Daniels of “Precious” fame.
