The next film from Mike Newell (the upcoming Great Expectations, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire), Reykjavik tells the story of Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan's historic meeting in the Icelandic capital in 1986, which brought about the end of the Cold War. Shooting doesn't begin till March, but the movies main roles have already been filled, with Christoph Waltz stepping into the shoes of the Russian president, while his American counter-part will be portrayed by Michael Douglas. These are two fantastic actors who, playing two larger than life figures, should light up the screen together. I'm calling it now, this will be one to watch out for.
