Description
Making REAGAN provides a behind-the-scenes tour of the creation of this controversial movie which reached #1 at the box office. This epic journey takes you from script development, hiring talent, and filming when COVID threatened to derail everything, to defying the critics who said REAGAN could never be made.
Facebook censored ads, and critics attacked it, but REAGAN quickly became a fan favorite, earning a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes' Popcornmeter, giving the film the greatest gap in the history of Hollywood with an 80-point difference between critics and moviegoers. This is the untold story of the 20-year odyssey of bringing REAGAN to the big screen. Mark Joseph interviewed 50 people who knew Ronald Reagan, visited the places he lived, and takes you on the set for a hit movie that actor Dennis Quaid says is "the favorite of my career thus far."
Ronald Reagan's son, Michael Reagan, adds, "If you want to understand my father, watch the REAGAN movie. If you want to understand how this amazing movie came to be, then Making REAGAN is a must-read."
