Oprah Winfrey has released the first photo of Alan Rickman in costume for his role as President Ronald Reagan in The Butler. The film is a true story centered around the life of Eugene Allen, who was a butler at the White House from 1952 to 1986. He served as a butler to eight American presidents and the film takes us through those years.

Forest Whitaker plays Eugene and Oprah plays his wife. Jane Fonda will be playing Nancy Reagan. Other well known stars in the film include Robin Williams as Eisenhower, John Cusack as Richard Nixon and James Marsden as John F. Kennedy.

The film will be released some time in 2013.
