Jeff Daniels, Jared Harris and JK Simmons to Star in Cold War Drama REYKJAVIK

Jeff Daniels (A man in full), Dr. Jared Harris (Chernobyl) AND J.K. Simmons (Flick) have signed on to star in the film Reykjavika historical drama by SK Global (Anyone but you) which recounts one of the most important diplomatic successes of modern times: the Reykjavik Summit.

Reykjavik is set at the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: political enemies Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev meet in Iceland for a long, tense weekend to decide whether the world will be at peace or war.

Daniels will play U.S. President Reagan, Harris will play Soviet leader Gorbachev, and Simmons will play U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz.

Michael Russell Gunn will direct from his own script, in his feature film debut, following his work with SK Global as showrunner on its acclaimed limited series Thai Cave Rescue for Netflix. He also produces with John Logan Pierson (It ends with us, Thai Cave Rescue). Production will begin in Reykjavik, Iceland, in early October, with extensive filming at Höfði House, the site of the 1986 summit.
