Open Channel D: The Man From UNCLE Affair

Mission: Impossible — Fallout and the redemption of Henry Cavill DARREN FRANICH July 30, 2018 at 07:05 PM EDT In Mission: Impossible — Fallout, Henry Cavill plays CIA agent August Walker. He’s paired with IMF all-star Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) for a skydiving mission. Cruise looks smaller next to Cavill, but so does everyone. Director Christopher McQuarrie cleverly films Cavill’s height like a running joke, his big, brash mustache the shape of a lesser man’s toupee. The visual treatment of Cavill reveals a deeper rift. Walker represents brute force, and the brutality of force. He always kills the bad guys, and is okay killing good guys. It’s a philosophical distinction from Hunt and his IMF kin, a chill crew of adventure heroes. They prefer old-fashioned espionage, the deep-cover character work. Walker looms, towers, hulks. You can’t imagine him pretending to be anyone but himself. Not much chance for emotional range, is what I’m getting at. My favorite Cavill performan...

Although we've seen the individual theatrical trailers for the 1966 "Man from U.N.C.L.E." feature films "To Trap a Spy" and "The Spy with My Face", we had never seen this rarity: a 60-second U.S. TV spot presenting them in the double-feature format in which most fans saw them theatrically. Amusingly, the footage crediting David McCallum (who the narrator refers to as "David McCullum") was inexplicably lifted from another "Man from U.N.C.L.E" feature film, "One Spy Too Many" and shows villain David Sheiner in the same footage! The U.N.C.L.E. feature films were simply two-part episodes that had been telecast on TV, then converted into highly profitable movies, occasionally with some re-editing and extra footage added that was deemed a bit too steamy for network broadcasts.

How Henry Cavill pushed himself to match Tom Cruise's 'tirelessness' in Mission: Impossible — Fallout SHIRLEY LI July 27, 2018 at 11:30 AM EDT Henry Cavill nearly got to work with Tom Cruise before joining Mission: Impossible — Fallout. The two were in talks to costar in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but Cruise dropped out to focus on producing and filming Fallout‘s predecessor, Rogue Nation. So, when Cavill got the call to join Fallout as CIA agent August Walker — a man who ends up butting heads with Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, thanks to their “different ideals about how to achieve things” — he couldn’t be more pleased to follow through after their “near-miss” years ago. “I was very excited to finally get the chance to work with Tom,” he says. “Tom remembered very precise details of our previous conversation, which I did not remember. He’s excellent at that.” To read the complete story click here. You'll find much more about UNCLE in Amazon.com -...

James Bond: Henry Cavill ‘I'd say YES to replacing Daniel Craig, I’d LOVE to be 007 next’ MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 6 Fallout and Superman star Henry Cavill has revealed he would love to play James Bond 007 after Daniel Craig. By GEORGE SIMPSON PUBLISHED: 11:18, Wed, Jul 25, 2018 | UPDATED: 11:27, Wed, Jul 25, 2018 Just 22-years-old he was director Martin Campbell’s preferred choice after screen-testing but was ultimately considered too young by Bond producers. Since then Cavill has channelled something of an American Bond as Napoleon Solo in Guy Richie’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. But now as he approaches the age Craig was when he took on the iconic part, the Brit is still adamant he would love to play 007 next. And in a recent interview for Mission: Impossible – Fallout, it sounds like all the stunt training has been good practice if he’s going to bag the role of a lifetime. Speaking with Yahoo Movies , Cavill said: “I would love to do it of course. “I think Bond would be a re...

David McCalum with wife Jill Ireland in 1957 Scots NCIS actor David McCallum goes to great lengths to understand how bodies are dissected McCallum, who starred in the Great Escape and is now in hit TV series NCIS is obsessive about researching his roles. By John Dingwall 04:30, 19 JUL 2018 Actor David McCallum is obsessive about researching his roles, so chopping up bodies held no fears. The 84-year-old plays Donald “Ducky” Mallard, the official medical examiner in hit US series NCIS. But it’s his unusual hobby regarding dead bodies that might surprise fans of the man who recently celebrates 55 years since he appeared as Ashley-Pitt “Dispersal” in classic war movie The Great Escape. Glasgow -born McCallum said: “It’s an interest I developed in order to bring authenticity to Ducky’s character on screen. “I’m obsessive about that kind of thing. I like to get it right, so I know a great deal, shall we say, about carrying out an autopsy". McCallum later ...
