First Look At Guy Ritchie's 'The Man From Uncle' [Trailer + Pictures]

  • 12 February 2015

The first trailer for Guy Ritchie's take on the iconic 1960s spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E has rolled out online and the British filmmaker appears to have made a movie - or at least attempted to make a movie - that is stylish, humorous and action-packed.

The movie has history in Hollywood and numerous well respected filmmakers have at some point wanted to take a punt on it. Steven Soderbergh was going to helm the film as one of the last movies he made before his retirement and he was in serious negotiations with George Clooney for the Napoleon Solo role. Clooney ended up having to leave the project, leading Soderbergh to jump too.
