• Zachary Levi would be perfect. He has the Solo qualities that would fit nicely with the character.

• I just foumd an article from ’07 talking about gordon levitt, ryan gosling, and true bloods alexander skarsgaard being yop contenders for the lead. I could never see clooney in the role. Personally think they should dump the whole idea. For the record Jensen Ackles would be awesome in the role. So tired of remakes.

• Was a big fan of UNCLE when it came out 1964 when I was 11 now 57. I always wondered why a movie was not made earlier (before I grew to old to play the part of course). This movie needs a better than good pairing for Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin. Perfect casting shoud be Jon Hamm and Alexander Skarsgard …..period.

• If this is going to be Sonderburgs ‘swan song’, it had better be good!?, Clooney was to old, to established and to arrogant for the role. The project is treading on deadly water as we all know the show is so iconic, it may be left best alone…
