And I didn't know it was running on True Entertainment - yay, thank you!
Aaah i didnt know that !!
And yes...Avengers (black and white with Diana Rigg ) followed by Man From Uncle 5 days a weeks,2 episodes a day !!....enjoy !
And whats left of 'The Persuaders!' is on Sundays,2 episodes,same channel.
BTW i met the great man in Piccadilly last year...fantastic to set eyes on the great man.
Robert Vaughn was born in New York City. David McCallum was born in the U.K.
Vaughn is quintessential Solo. He created Solo, as Connery created screen Bond and MacNee defined Steed.
The three are legend. Giants of the genre.

Same, although I would like Vikander to stick around. Getting a script together is a good first step.
The filmmakers showed a deft touch with the first film, essentially a series re-boot, but with a full origins take.
2nd time around, I'd produce and market, with a focus on broader commercial appeal.
Sugestion for another woman in the movie: Jocelin Donahue

Ideally, I'd prefer a cast reboot though (particularly Ilya). I realize I'm in a minority on that score.
That happens lots of times. I say another UNCLE film is very unlikely. Why would they risk another financial fiasco.
Furthermore Guy Ritchie is a complete failure at the B.O. Except for his one time success Sherlock Holmes.
That's why I would strongly oppose him as a possible Bond director.
I've no arguments about the New York setting and we'll eventually be getting there as the UNCLE headquarters is set there. However, I don't think Guy Ritchie wants THRUSH to be part of this continuity as I believe he thought that name was, in his words, "stupid." But, I do expect some substitute organization to emerge. They were waiting in the sub for Victoria to board it before she was roasted in the rocket blast.
I like U.N.C.L.E and I wish it would have been highly successful so S(t)upes could no longer appear in future DC films.
Look matey, I'm waiting since 20 years for a Barb Wire sequel and it doesn't happen :naughty: :lol:
The key is whether a scenario exists for a fresh approach to work.
There are enough creative positives to be extrapolated from the first film to build on.
If the first film was awful, then yes forget about it, but it wasn't.
A more commercial approach is needed I think
And yes do re-introduce Thrush!
What he says! Anyway, @BondJames, Guy Richie did make a few very well received films (Snatch, Lock Stock and two smoking Barrels) and with UNCLE he sort of played on this style. I think a sequel, indeed with more connection to the old series, would do better at the box. The first didn't do that well, but didn't do badly either and pops up in many a 'films that were better then performed' lists.
They should do the sequel as a four part mini series on Netflix Original.
From a business point of view I disagree. 30% profit in two years approximately isn't bad, especially in a business where a few big ones cover the losses on many.
It reportedly lost about 50 to 80 million USD.
That film was all gloss but the characters didn't feel genuine to me. It was almost like a pantomine (for lack of a better description). Actors acting rather than embodying. Most of the disconnect came from Hammer's characterization (not a surprise), but I found Vikander strangely 'off' as well. Perhaps shockingly given his well deserved reputation, Cavill's interpretation seemed the best.
I agree with @BondJasonBond006 that a tv miniseries adaptation for the sequel might be a better way to go.
