ComingSoon spoke to Dennis Quaid and Penelope Ann Miller about playing Ronald and Nancy Reagan in the new biopic movie Reagan.
”From dusty small-town roots, to the glitter of Hollywood, and then on to commanding the world stage, Reagan is a cinematic journey of overcoming the odds,” the synopsis for the movie reads. “Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent who followed Reagan’s ascent, Reagan captures the indomitable spirit of the American dream.”Brandon Schreur: You’re both playing very well-known historical figures in American history in this movie. Everyone knows who Ronald Reagan is.
It took a while to get there. Going to the Reagan Ranch is really what made my decision because I could feel him there. He really did do all the work there. He was not a rich man, which I really came to find out. Their house was, what, 1,100 square feet?He had a king-size bed, but it was actually two twin beds zip-tied together. Their clothes are in the closet, we slept just like it was.That was his sort of, what one would call his safe space.
Sure. I think that really comes across in the movie in an interesting and profound kind of way, too. Speaking of riding, Dennis, there are a bunch of scenes in the movie where you are riding on horses. That’s actually you doing it?I can ride a horse. I learned how to ride a horse as a kid and then I refined it in the movies. Yeah, for sure. Reagan, they say he rode English. Everybody thinks he rode Western but he really rode English. But it wasn’t really English.
Oh, interesting. I didn’t know that. Penelope, you have a bunch of really emotional scenes in the movie. One of them that comes to mind is when you rush to the hospital after the assassination attempt and you’re going through a lot. What was that like?That’s what’s great about this movie, you get to behind-the-scenes and be a fly on the wall to all that stuff you wanted to see when the news coverage was going on. I was fascinated by it.
