Bring It On was an unexpected blockbuster in the summer of 2000. The film about a cheerleaders debuted at the top of the box office charts. This was exciting since I’d known director Peyton Reed for a while since he also grew up in Raleigh. I interviewed him for the local entertainment rag when his Through The Eyes of Forrest Gump Behind the Scenes special about Forrest Gump was released on VHS by itself and not as a bonus feature (not sure why this honor isn’t listed on his Wikipedia page). Peyton went on to make all three of the Ant-Man movies for Disney/Marvel. Bring It On was the film that allowed him to be a major player. Bring It On continues to inspire kids who want becoming cheerleaders. Now they can see even more of the spirited battle and car wash scene with the 4K UHD arriving in June. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:
