  • New ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ Trailer Amps Up the Sexy Spy Action

    The first trailer for the Henry Cavill/Armie Hammer spy movie “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” was pretty awesome, but this new one is downright groovy, baby.

    Based on the TV show from the 1960s, and set in the early ’60s, the movie follows a CIA agent (Cavill) and a KGB operative (Hammer) in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization working to proliferate nuclear weapons. Sex appeal is provided by the leading men, natch, but also Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Debicki as shown in the trailer, Plus, it looks like Hugh Grant will be back in action with some pithy one-liners. Missed that from him.

    All in all, Guy Ritchie‘s movie looks pretty promising — or maybe the trailers are just that good. But it looks like “U.N.C.L.E.” might have the right mix of action, humor, intrigue, randy innuendo, and (so important in a movie like this) bromance.

  • Zack Snyder Tweets First Image of Jason Momoa As Aquaman (PHOTO)


    Late Thursday night, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” director Zack Snyder tweeted the first official photo of former “Game of Thrones” star Jason Momoa as Aquaman, with the caption: “There is only one true king.” The photo, which, true to call the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” images thus far, has a washed out, monochromatic look, features Aquaman staring down the camera and looking really, really badass, with a patchwork of tattoos covering his skin and a fearsome trident. Across the image are the words “Unite the Seven,” presumably meaning the seven seas. Fear him!

    “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” also features Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. The cast also includes Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane in more grounded, human roles. ‘Batman v Superman’ will be released next March, with Aquaman subsequently starring in his own film before re-teaming with the group for ‘Justice League.’ Whew, that’s a lot of Aquaman!

    What do you think of Aquaman’s jacked-up look? How do you think he’d fare under the sea?

  • ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ Trailer: Henry Cavill & Armie Hammer Unite (VIDEO)

    the man from U.N.C.L.E.
    The first trailer for director Guy Ritchie’s adaptation of 1960s TV series “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” is finally here, and based on the slick-looking clip, it seems that the long-gestating project was worth the wait.

    Henry Cavill stars as CIA agent Napolean Solo and Armie Hammer plays KGB operative Illya Kuryakin, two wildly different men who nevertheless team up to take down a shady organization with Nazi ties that’s hellbent on threatening the globe with a nuclear device. Unfortunately, like the series, the flick is set during the height of the Cold War — and neither man can stand the other.

    As Solo puts it, “Things could get a little messy” with all that tension, and as we see in the trailer, they certainly do. But despite Solo and Kuryakin’s claims that they both work better alone, the pair is inevitably destined to unite for the greater good.

    “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” also stars Hugh Grant, Jared Harris, Elizabeth Debicki, and Alicia Vikander. It hits theaters on August 14.

  • Watch the Swinging, Spy-Filled First Trailer for ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’

    man from uncle trailerThis weekend’s “Kingsman: The Secret Service” might be the first big spy movie of 2015, but it’s far from the last. This August, Warner Bros will unleash “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” based on the television series that ran for more than a hundred episodes from 1965 – 1968 (to tell you what a technologically trippy period this was, the first season’s episodes were in black-and-white, the rest in color). This new version retains the period setting but seems to be ruder and more action-packed. Would you expect anything less from director Guy Ritchie?

    In the new “Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” Henry Cavill (summoning considerable more charm than he ever exhibited in “Man of Steel”) plays Napoleon Solo, an American secret agent forced to partner with a Russian agent named Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer, forever the handsome straight man). Hugh Grant and Jared Harris are British agents and the almost painfully adorable Alicia Vikander seems to be the woman who shares both of their affections.

    The action seems typically Guy Ritchie-y, with frantic bouts of super sped up stuff complemented by the achingly slow motion, but the energy seems solid and the period setting certainly does a lot to pile on the charm. It will be interesting to see Ritchie tackle something that isn’t exclusively British-centered, but coming off the two biggest hits of his directorial career with his two “Sherlock Holmes” movies, it’s fair to say that he’s taking the material seriously and will deliver in a big way.

    Watching the trailer, though, it’s hard not to think of the original version of “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” which was to be the last theatrical film from genius director Steven Soderbergh, with George Clooney in the Napoleon Solo role and featuring a score from David Holmes, based on a script by Scott Z. Burns (“Side Effects”). Ah, what could have been…
