INTERVIEW WE HIT KIN SHRINER WITH SOME SERIOUSLY SILLY QUESTIONS December 11, 2020 3:15PM Who was your childhood idol?  “I idolized and worshipped THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. That was my favorite TV show, and the guy that played Illya Kuryakin, David McCallum, I would cut my hair to look like him. One day I saw him coming out of a movie theater in Westwood — it seems like yesterday! I saw him coming toward me and I just froze. But I noticed he was wearing penny loafers, and I immediately got a pair the next day.” You will find much more about UNCLE in Amazon.com -  http://goo.gl/OD1XKW Amazon Australia -  http://goo.gl/ODQYPY Amazon Brazil -  http://goo.gl/qYPYg6 Amazon Canada -  http://goo.gl/XrC6gc Amazon France-  http://goo.gl/IGxkLq Amazon Germany -  http://goo.gl/Wtz6WB Amazon India-  http://goo.gl/vtNMYo Amazon Italy -  http://goo.gl/gPOn6X Amazon Japan-  http://goo.gl/Cwqw1s Amazon Mexico -  http://goo.gl/xY6ANr Amazon Netherland...

I get people being like, ‘Are you going to do a sequel?’ The answer is, ‘I hope so! I’d love to’, Hammer told CinemaBlend.com. To read the complete story click here.

Image
MIKE REYES Somehow, My Spy has returned. With the oft-delayed movie landing a cozy streaming release on Amazon’s Prime Video earlier this year, it looks like that partnership was a rather successful one. At least, that’s what it would look like on the surface, as My Spy 2 is apparently a project that’s being discussed between the streaming retailer and the film’s production company, STX Entertainment. Which is fine and all, as if the public really wants another My Spy, they should get it. But there are 10 other spy franchises that should easily get sequels if we’re really getting serious. We submit, for your eyes only, the spy sequels we’d rather get than My Spy 2: The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
