A first look at the new biopic “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">Reagan</a>” just dropped with the release of the film’s official trailer.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Dennis Quaid</a> stars in the movie, which follows the life of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ronald-reagan">Ronald Reagan</a> from his childhood to his time as a Hollywood actor to the presidency. The story is told from the perspective of a fictional ex-KGB agent, Viktor Novikov, played by Jon Voight.

Other stars in the film include Penelope Ann Miller as Nancy Reagan, Mena Suvari as Reagan’s first wife Jane Wyman, Lesley-Anne Down as Margaret Thatcher, David Henrie as young adult Reagan, and Kevin Dillon as Jack Warner, plus an ensemble of others. Sean McNamara, best known for his work on “Soul Surfer,” serves as director.
“Reagan” is the first film being launched by the new studio ShowBiz Direct. The screenplay is based on Paul Kengor’s 2006 book, “The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.” Kengor is a political science professor at Grove City College, per <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/first-reagan-trailer-drops-with-dennis-quaid-starring-as-the-40th-president/">National Review</a>. Production on the film began four years ago.
Quaid <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/tbd-dennis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke with</a> Dr. Jordan B. Peterson earlier this week about preparing for the role. He said instead of doing an impersonation of the former president, he attempted to go deeper into character and think about who he really was. “I like to tell their story from their point of view,” Quaid said of character roles. “Not from the outside and what we thought of them.”
“The question is what if I – me – were this person in this situation?” the actor continued.

Quaid also discussed being afraid to take on the part because of Reagan’s notoriety. “He’s one of the most recognizable figures in the world,” Quaid said. “I wanted to make sure it was done right.” 
The movie star also discussed touring Reagan’s former home in Santa Barbara, saying he was impressed with how unpretentious it was. “There was a humbleness to it,” he told Peterson. “He was not a rich man… he was really who he said he was.”
“Reagan” is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on August 30.
