Christoph Waltz to play Gorbachev

Christoph Waltz will play Mikhail Gorbachev on the big screen
Christoph Waltz is to play former Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev in drama Reykjavik.
The Inglourious Basterds actor will star opposite Michael Douglas as Ronald Reagan in the film about the famous 1986 meeting between the two world leaders amid the threat of nuclear war, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed.
Reykjavik, which has been written by Kevin Hood, is set in 1986, when Reagan and Gorbachev went to the Icelandic capital to work out a peace deal, following the tragic backdrop of Chernobyl.
Ridley Scott was previously attached to direct, but will now produce, and Four Weddings And A Funeral's Mike Newell has taken over the helm.
Mike said: "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.
"Reagan and Gorbachev were two of the most significant politicians and individuals of their time. I'm very excited to see how each of these great actors gets to grips with their role as the history-changing giants we remember them to have been."
Ridley added: "The film will offer the viewer a unique look into two larger than life figures - Reagan and Gorbachev - who served as the catalysts for one of the most defining moments in our history, the end of the cold war."
He said he was excited "not only by the story and the incredible cast" but also by the "larger issue this film tackles that impacts all of us - non-proliferation and the abolishment of nuclear weapons."
The film is due to begin shooting in March 2013.

Rush trailerVideo by:Description: Two-time Academy Award® winner Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon), teams once again with fellow two-time Academy Award® nominee, writer Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen), on Rush, a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. In UK cinemas on Sept 13th. The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two extraordinary characters, a distinction reflected in their private lives. Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed—handsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. Taking us into their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. If you make one mistake, you die.Rating: 4Views: 183004
