Intandem appointed sales agent to REAGAN

Intandem Media Group, the London based international film group, announces that Manifest Film Sales, the Company's film sales division, has signed a foreign sales agreement for all territories excluding the US in respect of REAGAN, the much anticipated motion picture on the life of America's 40(th) president, Ronald Reagan.

The film's third party producers have also signed a deal for a US theatrical release on 3,000 screens, supported by a $35 million P&A spend.

Manifest Film Sales is expected to commence international sales for REAGAN at the Cannes Film Market later this month.

Written by Howard Klausner (Space Cowboys), Reagan's story is told, as seen through the eyes of veteran KGB agent Viktor Petrovich, a composite character of KGB agents who closely followed Reagan since his days in Hollywood as an anti-communist crusader. The film follows the future president's ascent from hometown hero in his native Dixon, Illinois, to his Hollywood life as an actor, to the pinnacle of global power in the Oval Office, until the fateful day that he narrowly escaped death by an assassin's bullet.

The script is based on two books by author Paul Kengor, God and Ronald Reagan: A Spiritual Life, and The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism and is produced by Mark Joseph (Max Rose) and Ralph Winter (X-Men).

"We are delighted to be working with Mark Joseph and Ralph Winter to bring the thrilling story of Ronald Reagan to the big screen", said Robert Mitchell, Intandem's CEO. "Reagan achieved many extraordinary things during his lifetime - many of which are yet untold and will astound audiences worldwide. The former President triumphed over tyranny without firing a single shot. Together with a captivating script by Howard Klausner and an expected exceptional director and talent package currently being negotiated, we look forward to bringing this fantastic story to global cinema audiences."
