DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geographic Channel's press release, August 2016) On March 30, 1981, at 2:27 p.m. six shots were fired from a .22-caliber pistol at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. On one side of the gun was an aimless and deranged young man, misguided by an obsession with an American actress. His intended victim: the U.S. president. Though he failed in his assassination attempt, he succeeded in changing not only a presidency but a man and a marriage. On Sunday, Oct. 16, National Geographic Channel will go deep inside this harrowing moment in U.S. history, with KILLING REAGAN, produced with Scott Free Productions and based on the New York Times best-selling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. The two-hour movie event is the fourth in a successful partnership between NGC, Scott Free and O'Reilly, with the previous three collaborations - Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy and Killing Jesus - serving as the network's three most-watched programs of all time and earning multiple Emmy nominations. The movie will air globally in early 2017 on National Geographic Channels in 171 countries and in 45 languages. Leading the KILLING REAGAN cast are Tim Matheson ("The West Wing," "Burn Notice," "Animal House") as Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, who was struck down only 69 days into his presidency, and Cynthia Nixon ("Sex and the City," Tony Award for "Rabbit Hole") as Nancy Reagan, the loyal and protective first lady. Actor and improv comic Kyle More ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "CSI") portrays John Hinckley Jr., the misguided and mentally unstable would-be assassin. The movie is directed by Rod Lurie ("The Contender," "Commander in Chief") from a script written by Oscar-winner Eric Simonson ("A Note of Triumph: The Golden Age of Norman Corwin"). |
