An American genius on the edge of madness? A Cold War backdrop? It's A Beautiful Mind, Part II. Or, to give it it's official title, Pawn Sacrifice, the story of chess master Bobby Fischer:
Looks OK, but the Cold War thriller I'm really looking forward to, long rumoured but seemingly perpetually 'in development', is Reykjavik, about the Reagan-Gorbachev summit at which the two leaders almost agreed to abolish their entire nuclear arsenals. Wikipedia says it will star Michael Douglas as Reagan and Christph Waltz as Gorbachev. C'mon Hollywood, you can do this!
