Reykjavik Summit Meeting The Movie.

Some of you here might be to young to remember the cold war between the US and Russia that started after the end of the second World War and lasted until 1989, illustrated best when the Berlin Wall came crumbling down. But I think most of the readers of this fine site are old enough to remember the strained times between the East and the West during those decades. But what many people don’t know is that Iceland played a large part in ending the Cold War in the 80’s. At least that’s what many Icelanders want you to believe.

You see Reykjavik played host to one of the meetings that would start the process to end this ridiculous pissing contest between the US and the Soviet Union and that would eventually lead to the end of the nuclear race between the two super powers…and allow artist to be able to rent cheap housing in the former East Berlin.

News trickled down the wires a couple of days ago that Clint Eastwood and Ridley Scott had sent people over to Iceland to talk to city officials about doing a film about this historic meeting in our nation’s capital.
This was of course a big thing at the time, not only for us but for the world itself because this would herald the conclution of one of the longest conflicts in the history of our modern culture, one that threatens to rear it’s ugly head again, according to recent news.

Not much was revealed in terms of storyline or how this film was going to be but the two actors mentioned in the lead as Reagan and Gorbachev were the American Gigolo and hard core leftist Richard Gere and beloved cannibal and all around good guy Anthony Hopkins.

Treat this as a rumor at this time but something might come through the grapevine in the near future. Unless the city officials blew their load in their excitement and the whole thing will be scrapped.
