foolish_m0rtalThey're making a Man from U.N.C.L.E movie?! Apparently George Clooney is interested in playing Napoleon, which would be perfect. I think he'd do a really good job. He would have been on my list of potentials even if he hadn't been interested. (Haha, yes. "DO IT, GEORGE!" "But I don' wanna!" "DO IT, I SAY!")
I don't want them to mess up Illya. In a perfect world, I'd probably want Paul Bettany. I think even though he's played more loose free-wheeling people in the past, he proved he could be serious and hitman-ish with Da Vinci Code. And I just love the way he acts. Er, right. *cough* I may have vested interest in Paul Bettany taking the part. (^_^)
Because it's the director who did Oceans, though, I'm thinking they would be looking at someone from the Oceans crew. Matt Damon comes to mind because of his work with the Bourne films. He doesn't really resemble young David McCallum, but I can see him fitting the "I am Russian and will now jump kick you in the face and then beat you at chess" persona.
I am excited. They should get Robert Vaughn to play Mr. Waverly. It would be a nice continuation, not to mention it would feed all the fans who assumed he would be taking over Section Two after Waverly. (Selling computers? Really, Solo?)

GEORGE CLOONEY EYEING "MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E"
George Clooney is eyeing reteaming with frequent collaborator Steven Soderbergh on Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Heat Vision broke the news Tuesday of Soderbergh's involvement, and it didn't take long to get tongues wagging that Clooney could be boarding the Warner Bros. project...

The Saint - I actually thought okay, despite the panning it got.
They fail to capture the humour that made them work. Man from U.N.C.L.E could be interpretted in a variety of ways. I like the idea of Clooney in the role though I'm not a fan of his.
