The Austrian actor, who can next be seen in Quentin
Tarantino's Django Unchained, is set to portray the Soviet leader opposite
Michael Douglas as former president Ronald Reagan.
The film follows Reagan's sojourn to Iceland in October,
1986 to meet with Gorbachev for Cold War peace talks.
"I feel very fortunate to have two such masters to
portray the men who brought about the end of the third great war of the 20th
century," Newell said.
"The film will offer the viewer a unique look into two
larger than life figures who served as the catalysts for one of the most
defining moments in our history, the end of the Cold War," said Scott Free
Productions president Ridley Scott.
Written by Kevin Hood, the film will be produced by Headline
Pictures, Scott Free Productions, Participant Media and Mark Sennet
Productions. Filming is scheduled to star in March in Reykjavik, Iceland and
Studio Babelsberg, Germany.
