speaking of ridley scott, he's putting together a movie based on regan and gorbechev's reykjavik ballistic missile summit.

That should be interesting. I'm looking forward to "Nottingham" myself. I always liked that time period for some reason.

i think bob hoskins as Gorby.

and fred thompson.  he's reganesque, right?  that's what i kept hearing for the past year.

I'm wondering how Ridley will make a movie out of that scenario. In my mind it would sort of be like "The Hunt for Red October" but without the subs.

well it's essentially a talking heads movie, but i think he could do that dramatically enough.  they were tense times and i think that they do require examination and a popularization of these events through a movie could be a good thing

of course the resultant "REGAN WAS A HERO!" shit i'll have to read on the internet will be a small price to pay.  smaller than the movie ticket prices, that's for sure!

Might as well; he's already done Khrushchev. Playing stocky soviet leaders could be his new thing.

can we just get Vigo to play Gorby and he and regan have a knife fight in the communal showers?
