New Man From U.N.C.L.E. Titles

I was playing around and came up with this new opening title sequence if they ever get around to doing a new U.N.C.L.E. movie. And yes, I know I spelled Clooney wrong, but I was kinda drunk when I did it.

Back in the mid-70's Robert Short and ,I believe, Danny Beiderman went to MGM and tried to sell a script for a new UNCLE. All execs they talked to thought that there were too many cliches and instead of Vaughn and McCallum they wanted Tom Sellig to play Solo. Not my idea of Solo, or theirs for that matter. They didn't contact Robert or David but some producer whose name I have forgotten did go to the stars and found they were interested. The result was that awful 1983 Return of The MFU TV movie.

@joshweiss01 The producer in question was Richard Sloan. You can see him toasting with Vaughn and McCallum on the end title slate. Around that same time period, my partner David M. Lynch and I wrote a black and white MFU comic book that was drawn by Ken Penders, and published by Entertainment Publishing.

Clooney, now way, but you could cast him as someone from THRUSH. Kirsten Dunst would be good as April Dancer, But Orlando Bloom? Now way. Patrick Stewart as Waverly? No.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Clooney is in talks to play Napoleon Solo.

I like this!!! Would so much rather watch this than the crap that is on TV now!

@doggsector I agree with you, most of this is poor actor choices, Orlando Bloom doesn't deserve to play Illya Kuryakin, nor does Clooney deserve to play Solo, this one's relying on too many big name stars. Orlando Bloom will probably be a washed-up has been by the time he reaches the age David McCallum (the man who originally played Illya Kuryakin) was in 2003. Anyone who replies to this calling David McCallum w washed-up has been is an idiot.

Around 2001 I helped Jon Heitland do a video interview of Allan Calliou who acted and wrote episodes such as the Quadipartite Affair, the Giuoco Piano Affair, and the Bow-Wow affair. He lived in Sedona and has since passed away. Fine gentleman and nice guy. I've known Jon for about 21 years. As you know he wrote the definitive Man from UNCLE book.

Cute.

Patrick Stewart is the shiz, but it would be amazing if David McCallum got to play Alexander Waverly.

You do nice work. And the casting isn't that far off.
