With Tom Cruise now out, mercifully, who can they get to fill in
Solo's shoes now? Obviously, it has to be somebody who's currently
hot that can show the studio the money, this won't be wasted on just
any Joe Schmo off the street. So I came across a site that has pics
of the current Top 50 hot actors, according to them, and I made 4
picks from which to choose the winner:
Robert Downey, Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman, Henry Cavill
Each could pull it off, with Downey probably having a persona and look
that maybe comes closest to Vaughn's; Affleck being a longshot with
only "the look" going for him for now; Jackman also being a longshot
who might carry the charm but is probably too tall for the role; and
Cavill being perhaps the dark horse to settle on just to shake things
up a bit and bring Solo a little up to date, though it's hard to say
if he can deliver on the kind of smooth suave that Vaughn projected.
It doesn't hurt that Cavill is listed as No. 1.
Anyway, take your pick of the lot:
http://www.totalfilm.com/features/50-hottest-2013-actors/armie-hammer
Interestingly, Armie Hammer is 50th and he's already slated to play
Illya Kuryakin. So with both No. 50 Hammer and No. 1 Cavill, the
bookends for the movie would be seem to be perfectly in place.

bastard will soon be out of a job. Holder has fucked up once too often
and been caught in a bold faced lie once too often. Look for the lying,
two-faced dishonest incompetent bastard in the Oval Office to throw Holder
under the bus.

General? Is Eric Holder being considered for being cast in Man From UNCLE?
You're misrepresenting your actions, Irish Mike. You're not standing up
to Eric Holder at all. It takes zero courage to post an off-topic
political followup to complain about him. It might take a modest amount of
courage to write him a letter and sign your true name.
You're not the least bit courageous.

Liberals say they are willing to consider opposing points of view, but are
always shocked, angry and outraged to find they exist.
Irish Mike
always shocked, angry and outraged to find they exist.
The essential difference between liberals and conservatives is that
liberals can't exist without conservatives to defend their freedom and
support them economically. Conservatives, on the other hand, can exist
and live quite well without liberals.
