The Re-Release
Despite being berated by critics and fans alike, the movie’s screening rights were purchased by Drafthouse Films in 2015. Roar did eventually make it to American soil, albeit 25 years late. A movie that involved close encounters with lions was actually going to hit the cinemas.
A trailer was released, and the hype was created, but sadly, once again the movie failed to live up to the bidding. Marshall and Hedren had given up on the film, and their relationship a long time ago. They divorced after the film was a commercial failure, with Hedren deciding to spend life with the animals, and Marshall going back to the commercial-making life.
