Reagan Biopic Returns with 10 Mins New Footage
11 Jun
Summary
- The Reagan biopic starring Dennis Quaid is returning to theaters.
- The rerelease will feature an additional 10 minutes of unseen footage.
- The film shows a significant difference between critic and audience scores.
The "Reagan" biopic, starring Dennis Quaid as the former president, is scheduled to return to theaters with new content as the nation approaches its 250th birthday. Limited screenings are planned for July 4, with a broader September rerelease in approximately 600 theaters.
This enhanced theatrical run will include an additional 10 minutes of footage previously omitted from the original release. These deleted scenes delve into moments between Reagan and his wife Nancy in the Oval Office, a scene with his father, and personal moments at their ranch near Santa Barbara.
Director Sean McNamara expressed his satisfaction in restoring these "incredible moments" for audiences. The film's initial release had a reported budget of $30 million. Intriguingly, the "Reagan" film garners a stark disparity on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 17% critic score against a 98% audience score, a phenomenon compared by an associate editor to Reagan's landslide 1980 election victory.
