Man From U.N.C.L.E movie

You would be the first to catch that.

Fair enough.

Hope it does well or Hammer might go to movie purgatory like Taylor Kitsch.

I mean, Hammer had a promising start and still does. But the method of 'Jumping into the Lion's Den' style career is almost a thing of the past. Fassbender, Hardy, Gosling, Gordon-Levitt, and many others had the 'modern' strategy of doing smaller indie work. When people noticed, then they jumped at the big time.

It's a complete arbitrary thing, this thing we call...success.

Eh, I think'd he'd get another shot even if this disappoints. Kitsch's year was special, he had two 200mil flops months apart and then a mediocre performer.

I hope it becomes a thing of the past. I think too much is being put on young stars to be honest. They are being pushed into an unearned stardom way to fast. I don't think that every actor needs to be a star in these big movies anyway. And these big movies need to be better and more interesting but that's a topic for another thread.

Director Guy Ritchie's adaptation stars Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer

(CBR) After decades in limbo, "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." movie may finally be making its way to the big screen. While running down the show’s 35-year journey to film, Variety also dropped some new information about director Guy Ritchie’s adaptation, which stars Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer.

Ritchie and company are looking to start filming in London and Italy on Sept. 7. The piece also firmly states that Cavill will play Napoleon Solo while Hammer is Illya Kuryakin, the main characters from the original NBC series.

Also, the film will actually be set in the ’60s, which sets it apart from the modern day setting of the another 60s spy reboot, the Mission: Impossible franchise.

“The film is an origin story that tells of the first pairing of the two spies — one American, one Russian,” Variety reports by way of its sources. “Unlike the friendly banter of the original series, the pair are initially hostile to each other.”

Ritchie and his "Sherlock Holmes" writing partner Lionel Wigram took a pass at the script. The film does not have a release date.

No surprise they're hostile towards one another. They do that will all pairings these days, just like they did with McGarrett and Danno in Hawaii Five-0.

 

[terry78]

Partners that are cool with each other right off the bat doesn't make for conflict, basically.

 

[MrMaooz]

It's going to be nice to see Henry's comedic chops.

 

[Dark Raven]

Is Henry going to play Solo as American or British?

And I hope he doesn't have curly hair for this, but keeps his hair short and straight like Robert Vaughn in the original.

I wonder too if Armie is going to have the moppish floppy haircut like David McCallum had.

He'll probably be American and have straight hair.

Well he kept his curly hair for Superman, where you'd think he should have straight hair.

I don't want him to look like Superman.

 

[terry78]

He'll probably pattern the look after the original tv show character.

Yep, it's gonna be very interesting.

I think he just kinda looks like Superman period but I get what you are saying about the hair.

Well for the authentic 1960s look it should be straight and slicked.

And Illya Kuryakin should have a Beatles mop top.

Any casting for Mr Waverley?

Nope, but they should cast John Boehner for that role.

 

[MrMaooz]

When do you guys see this being released?

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

October 2014.

 

[MrMaooz]

I was thinking that too. It seems like a fall/winter release.

 

[Dark Raven]

which version of the theme music do people want?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

If you say Hammer and Cavill fast it sounds like you're saying Hammer and Gavel...think about it.

 

[MrMaooz]

Did the original show contain smoking?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm going to have to finally wiki the show and ask my Mom because I don't know much about it...at all. I'm just kinda interested because of the cast.

So you're being sarcastic about this?
