Word on the street (or, at least, on some movie gossip
websites) is that Steven Soderbergh is prepping a remake of the Man From U.N.C.L.E. for the big screen. Considering his success with the Ocean's 11 remake (the first one at least), he doesn't seem like a bad choice. Of course, every other film he's made has been a flop (deservedly so, in my opinion), but this could be a hit. The good news is that he intends for it to take place in the 1960s as a period piece, which is as it should be. I would have no interest in watching an updated take on U.N.C.L.E.
Rumors also state that George Clooney wants the role of Napolean Solo, which makes sense because he seems to star in every film directed by Soderbergh. Clooney wouldn't be a bad choice, but I think this was a role
Kyle MacLachlan was born to play. David Hyde Pierce would be a pretty good choice to play Solo's partner Kuryakin, but he might be getting a bit old.
Make it happen, Soderbergh.

Have you seen Kyle MacLachlan lately? He looks like he's about a hundred years old. He hasn't aged well.
What he needs is a great role like this to get him back into fighting shape. He's got to be younger than Clooney.
Anyway, he looks a lot like Robert Vaughn, at least when they were both in their primes.
kyle maclachlan can't hold a candle to clooney
i'd hit either one, to be honest, but i agree with justin, maclachlan got *real* wrinkly. maybe he hit the bottle a bit heavy after TP ended. which is a damned shame.
