“There’s nothing a retired governor can do about the Soviets…” ShowBiz Direct has revealed a trailer for a movie called Reagan, a brand new biopic about the 40th President of the United States of America. This will open in theaters at the end of August this summer. Actor Dennis Quaid stars as Ron, who worked as an actor before getting into politics. “I’ve always been told bits and pieces of the stories of Ronald Reagan’s life, but this movie puts the whole story together. I’ve played quite a few real people over the years, and I like to play them from their point of view, without judgment. It was a big challenge for me to get behind the public persona of the man and also to move beyond my own feelings of admiration for him.” Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the film was shot in Oklahoma and in California at Reagan’s beloved Rancho Del Cielo and on Air Force One. The film follows Reagan from his humble beginnings to the glitz & glamour of Hollywood, and finally on to his biggest role as Commander in Chief. The cast includes Mena Suvari, Jon Voight, Penelope Ann Miller, Xander Berkeley, Amanda Righetti, C. Thomas Howell, Justin Chatwin, and Robert Davi. This plays like such pathetic attempt to make him look like a very suave guy.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Sean McNamara’s film Reagan, direct from YouTube:
From dusty small-town roots, to the glitter of Hollywood, and then on to commanding the world stage, Reagan is a cinematic journey about overcoming the odds. Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan’s when Reagan first catches the Soviets’ attention as an actor in Hollywood, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating. Quaid brings to life a story that transcends the boundaries of a traditional biopic, offering a profound exploration of the enduring impact of the power of one man who overcame the odds, sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey, Nancy Reagan played by Penelope Ann Miller. Reagan is directed by American producer / filmmaker Sean McNamara, of many movies including The Legend of Galgameth, P.U.N.K.S., Treehouse Hostage, Race to Space, Bratz, Soul Surfer, Space Warriors, Cody the Robosapien, Spare Parts, The Miracle Season, Orphan Horse, Mighty Oak, The King’s Daughter, and most recently On a Wing and a Prayer also with Dennis Quaid. The screenplay is written by Howard Klausner and Jonas McCord. Produced by Mark Joseph. ShowBiz Direct will debut McNamara’s Reagan in theaters nationwide starting on August 30th, 2024 later this summer. For more details, visit the film’s official site.
