Special Edition of Reagan Biopic Rereleasing in

What might be more patriotic to honor our nation during its 250th anniversary 12 months than to memorialize one of its best leaders? That’s set to occur as the “Reagan” biopic about our fortieth president, Ronald Wilson Reagan, is making a return to film theaters in 2026, according to Deadline. 

Reagan, the biopic starring Dennis Quaid, is getting a theatrical re-release on July 4 weekend, tied to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

But it will not be the same model moviegoers noticed during its initial run in 2024, the leisure industry outlet said. This particular version contains 10 more minutes of footage that the director returned to the film’s runtime.

Director Sean McNamara explained his reasoning in a assertion:

“One of the hardest things about directing a feature film is leaving behind incredible moments on the cutting room floor. I’m so happy to have some of my favorite scenes back in the film for audiences to experience them for the first time.”

And while some restricted group showings will occur on July 4, your best probability to catch “Reagan” (again?) on the silver screen will occur in the autumn nationwide:

Plans are for restricted group screenings [in] more than a dozen cities on July 4, with a broad release in about 600 theaters in September.

RedState’s Bob Hoge attended a premiere screening of “Reagan,” and bought a probability to sit down with one of the celebrities, actor Jon Voight.

By late fall of 2024, the biopic, as my colleague Ward Clark wrote, was “blowing up home gross sales” in the weeks after President Trump’s reelection win:

The movie “Reagan” has surged to the top of the home gross sales charts following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Nov. 5.

“Reagan” was listed as #2 on Amazon’s Best Sellers checklist total Monday for DVD, Blu-ray and digital obtain gross sales, having been No. 1 over the weekend, the film’s publicist said.

“Reagan” garnered worldwide box workplace receipts of over $30 million, all told.

My colleague Jerry Wilson also spoke to musician Phil Keaggy about how producer Mark Joseph wrangled him into being a half of the “Reagan” soundtrack.

America Still Loves Ronald Reagan – ‘Reagan’ Film Going Gangbusters

Wilson’s interview ties in completely with the other cool news about the “Reagan” film that I just heard about on Saturday. Joseph announced on his social media accounts that the film’s soundtrack was launched today on, get this, CD and LP! 

As an added bonus, in another Facebook post, Mark Joseph shared a vignette from the liner notes on how he managed to get a great American musician like Bob Dylan to lend his skills to the soundtrack, which has all-American tunes being lined by American artists: [paragraph breaks added]

“Music can make or break a picture. Early on, I had compiled a list of sixty artists I wanted for the film. If you were to have asked me which artists on that list would be the most difficult to land, I would have replied ‘Bob Dylan and KISS.’ 

“I had reached out to Bob early on and at first it was merely logistics—making an attempt to discover a time when he wasn’t on the street to screen for him. But after almost two years of going back and forth, we finally reached an deadlock, and it appeared like we just couldn’t make it work. 

“But we were able to get to “yes” and now the only thing left to decide was what song. Early on I had made it clear that we’d be open to any song he’d like to write, and that was the initial direction. 

“Somehow over time he advised the concept of protecting a traditional, “Boots & Saddles, but then Bob had another suggestion: “Don’t Fence Me In,” by Cole Porter. 

“I liked that concept, as it spoke to Reagan’s life, and the fact that Bob had clearly given this some thought made it all the more interesting. I still keep in mind where I used to be the first time I heard it—a particular second certainly. I’ll ceaselessly be grateful to Bob for giving me the track.

Enjoy!
