Earlier this year, Michael Douglas signed up to play Ronald Reagan in the film Reykjavik, with Mike Newell directing. The movie will cover the 1986 summit between the American and Russian leaders in Iceland, which marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War.
Scott Derrickson scored a big hit with The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, but his move into big budget filmmaking with The Day The Earth Stood Still didn’t work out so well, but he’s recently scored another significant success with Sinister. Now 
Earlier this year it appeared Rupert Sanders’ next movie would be a follow-up to his hit Snow White And The Huntsman, however that was rather thrown into disarray when he was caught having an affair with the movie’s star, Kristen Stewart. Since then he’s signed up to remake Van Helsing and now
