- REYKJAVIK
 |
| Michael Douglas |
Michael Douglas is set to play Ronald Reagan in a film
called Reykjavik. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell is
also in talks to direct it. At one point Ridley Scott was attached to direct
the movie, but is now only attached to it as a producer.
The film tells the true story about the meeting between US
president Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the mid-1980s,
which helped bring about the end of the Cold War. It's set against the backdrop
of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
The Reykjavík Summit meeting was held in the famous house of
Höfði in Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland in 1986. The talks collapsed at
the last minute, but the progress that had been achieved eventually resulted in
the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty between the United States and
the Soviet Union.
