Your thoughts on this movie.....

American Senator Gary Hart's presidential campaign in 1988 is derailed when he's caught in a scandalous love affair.

The Front Runner
Director: Jason Reitman (“Juno,” “Labor Day”)
Cast: Hugh Jackman, J.K. Simmons, Vera Farmiga, Ari Graynor
Details: One of two films by Jason Reitman due in 2018, and the more obvious awards fare with a likely Fall festival run, the darkly comic biopic is based on Matt Bai’s 2014 novel “All the Truth Is Out” which chronicles the rise and fall of American Senator Gary Hart, a Democratic presidential candidate in 1988.

Hugh Jackman stars as Hart who was a front runner in 1988 until accusations of an extramarital affair hobbled his campaign. He famously challenged the media to follow him around and see how boring his life was, only for tabloid photographs to emerge of him having an affair. Whoops.

Filmmaker Jason Reitman returns with the darkly comic biopic “The Front Runner” which chronicles the rise and fall of American Senator Gary Hart, a Democratic presidential candidate in 1988.

Hugh Jackman stars as Hart who was a front runner in 1988 until accusations of an extramarital affair hobbled his campaign. He famously challenged the media to follow him around and see how boring his life was, only for tabloid photographs to emerge of him having an affair. Whoops.

Based on Matt Bai’s 2014 novel “All the Truth Is Out,” the film is being sold on how this marked the moment in which political journalism took on a tabloid mentality thanks to the 24-hour news cycle and the ratings that come with a sex scandal.

Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons, Kaitlyn Dever, Sara Paxton, Mamoudou Athie, Molly Ephraim, Josh Brener, and Mike Judge. co-star in the film opening November 7th.

The Hugh Jackman-led political drama-comedy “The Front Runner” has set a Tuesday November 6th opening, moved up by one day in order to capitalize on the momentum and passion surrounding Election Day. It will also be the first movie ever to open on Election Day. The movie will get a limited release before expanding on November 16th and again on November 21st in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
