James Foley (Fifty Shades of Darkness, Fifty Shades of Freedom) is directing the film about the 1986 Soviet-American Summit in Iceland, scheduled for 2012, in which Christoph Waltz plays Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev as planned, and Michael Douglas plays the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. I learned from Deadline.com, an American movie portal.

Contrary to previous plans, it is not a cinema but a miniseries that captures the two-day encounter in historic Reykjavík, which marks the end of the Cold War. According to plans for 2012, the director would have been the British Mike Newell. The name of the project has also changed, with the production shown by Reagan & Gorbachev instead of Reykjavik on television channels and streaming providers.

The miniseries is implemented by Paramount Television Studios based on the book Reagan at Reykjavik: Forty-Eight Hours That Ended the Cold War by Ken Adelman, former director of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.
