Hugh Jackman is Gary Hart in first trailer for The Front Runner

August 30, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Sony Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for biographical comedy drama The Front Runner. Directed by Jason Reitman, the film stars Hugh Jackman as politician Gary Hart, who in 1988 found his Presidential campaign derailed following allegations of an extramarital affair, and features a cast that also includes Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons, and Alfred Molina; take a look here…

Oscar® nominee Hugh Jackman stars as the charismatic politician Gary Hart for Academy Award®-nominated director Jason Reitman in the new thrilling drama The Front Runner. The film follows the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice. As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race – events that left a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage. Also starring Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons and Alfred Molina, The Front Runner is written by Matt Bai & Jay Carson & Jason Reitman, based on the book All the Truth is Out by Matt Bai, and produced by Jason Reitman and Helen Estabrook of Right of Way Films and Aaron L. Gilbert of BRON Studios.
