Open Channel D: The Man From UNCLE Affair

The new version of The Man From UNCLE directed by Guy Ritchie and released in 2015 was a good adventure film. But it had little connection with the original TV series. The UNCLE mythology wasn't respected, which resulted in a pleasant but not very remarkable movie. Now co-author Lionel Wigram has announced that he is writing the script for the sequel, and there is information that it could be released in the second half of 2019. How could this continuation be? 1) The new version of UNCLE already has a boss - Alexander Waverly (Hugh Grant). Now it needs a secret headquarters in Manhattan. With a secret entrance by Del Floria's tailor. Without these details, there is no The Man From UNCLE . 2) It's time to introduce a criminal organization called ... THRUSH. 3) One of the good achievements of Guy Ritchie's film was the the 1960's style which was not so remarkable in the series. That great idea that should be preserved. 4) The character Gaby Teller (Alicia ...

Alexander Waverly, the UNCLE director, explicitly discouraged his agents from getting married. He said that a married agent did not focus on the mission. And that their wives or husbands could be blackmailed by Thrush. So why the single agent Illya Kuryakin is wearing a wedding ring in the Episode 15? The production crew forgot to hide the ring of actor David McCallum. He was married to Jill Ireland, special guest sate in four episodes: 3, 7, 37 and 87.

Apparently, Guy Ritchie Had No Idea People Actually Like Man From U.N.C.L.E. BY ADAM HOLMES Director Guy Ritchie has had quite the cinematic career, starting out with smaller movies, like Snatch and Swept Away, and in the last decade transitioning to major blockbusters, like the Sherlock Holmes movies and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, the latter of which is finally in theaters. As with every director, not all of Ritchie's offerings have been hits, but Ritchie was surprised to discover that there was more positive reaction to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. than he previously thought. When told there's been increased interest in the theatrical adaptation of the 1960s TV series, Ritchie said: "I had no fucking idea. I had no fucking idea! Fuck it, I love the movie". Critically The Man from U.N.C.L.E. performed decently when it was released in 2015, ranking at 67% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes and earning a 73% Audience Score. Commercially, on the other han...

MIKE RYAN SENIOR ENTERTAINMENT WRITER A few weeks ago, Armie Hammer  told the story  about how he asked  The Man from U.N.C.L.E.  screenwriter Lionel Wigram to write a sequel to the 2015 film that underperformed at the box office, but has found a new life over the last few months thanks to cable and streaming. Now, when I brought this up to Guy Ritchie (who directed the 2015 film and is currently promoting  King Arthur: Legend of the Sword ), I expected him to have a fairly good idea of what was happening in that department. Instead, he looked genuinely confused and couldn’t understand why anyone would want to see a sequel to a movie that underperformed like  The Man From U.N.C.L.E.  did. What follows is me trying to explain to Ritche, who really did love  The Man From U.N.C.L.E , that his movie has gained a lot of popularity over the last few months and has a dedicated fan base. And honestly, I’m not convinced he believed me. (...)...

Joanna Moore (1934-1997) Southern-bred beauty Joanna Moore certainly had a lot of things going for her when her career started off in the 50s. Armed with an entrancingly smoky voice that complemented her stunning, creamy blond beauty, Joanna played wily females in such films as W alk on the Wild Side  (1962) and S on of Flubber (1963), but she would be best remembered, however, as the benevolent girlfriend of "Sheriff Andy Taylor" in the third season of The Andy Griffith Show (1960). At the peak of her career, Joanna married her "Prince Charming", actor Ryan O'Neal, on April 3, 1963. O'Neal, of course, would make a huge impact as "Rodney Harrington" the following year on the nighttime soap, P eyton Place (1964). The good-looking couple had two children who also became actors: Tatum O'Neal (later Oscar-winner) and Griffin O'Neal. The marriage, however, was tempestuous, to say the least, and they divorced acrimoniously in February, 1...
