PICTUREHOUSE TO RELEASE ‘RE-ELECTION’ IN THEATERS ON OCTOBER 10 AND DEBUTS TRAILER ONLINE

This Coming Of (Middle) Age Comedy Stars Tony Danza, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Adam Saunders, Kym Whitley, Rizwan Manji

New York (Sept. 4, 2025) — Picturehouse will release RE-ELECTION, a nostalgic comedy from director-writer-producer Adam Saunders (DOTTY & SOUL) beginning October 10 at New York’s Regal Union Square, followed by openings on October 17 in Dallas at the Angelika Film Center and in Atlanta at the The Springs Cinema & Taphouse. Saunders also stars in the film, with Tony Danza, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Kym Whitley and Rizwan Manji. 

“We are proud to be part of discovering a talented new indie actor, writer and director Adam Saunders,” says Bob Berney, CEO of Picturehouse. “Re-Election is a throwback comedy that audiences need and will enjoy this fall.  Adam has brought together a great team including Tony Danza, Kym Whitley,  Rizwan Manji and newcomer Bex Taylor-Klaus.”

Saunders is a multi-hyphenate filmmaker and co-founder of Footprint Features. His feature directorial debut, DOTTY & SOUL premiered in 2023 on Showtime. He has also produced films for 20th Century Studios, Netflix, Sony, and Paramount. 

“In this deeply polarized political landscape, I wanted to make a fun, heartfelt, throwback political comedy –  the kind of movie I loved growing up in Texas – that could be enjoyed by both sides of the political aisle,” says Saunders.   “It’s a story about empathy, and personal responsibility, and how the stories we tell ourselves are the ones that shape our lives.  I’m deeply humbled and honored to partner with Picturehouse as they help us bring this movie to the world.”

WHO

About RE-ELECTION

High school haunts everyone, in one way or another. For Jimmy Bauer (SAUNDERS), it was losing the race for class president during his senior year back in 1995, which caused him to drop out. Now a 40-something underdog stuck working in a memorabilia store owned by his dad (TV comedy icon TONY DANZA), Jimmy decides to go back to school for his missing class credits — and win the election he’s sure will make his life right. But after 30 years, things have changed a bit, and with the help of his new Gen-Alpha friend Noa (BEX TAYLOR-KLAUS) and former classmate-turned-girlfriend Ama (NATHALIE KELLEY), Jimmy learns that it’s not how we start a journey that matters — it’s how we finish it.
