Look what Oprah tweeted: Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan on set in Lee Daniels‘ upcoming film The Butler (with Jane Fonda as wife Nancy).

Daniels’ film is based on the true story of butler Eugene Allen(Forest Whitaker) who worked in the White House for eight presidents. Oprah plays the wife of the butler.

Uncanny, right? And a long way from Severus Snape in Harry Potter…
