>The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Guy Ritchie’s fun and surprising film adaptation of the classic television series, crash-landed in the summer of 2015 to middling financial results and no great acclaim, despite being really, really enjoyable to watch. Now, as /Film reports, the stylish 1960s spy thriller may be getting a second chance. Armie Hammer, who starred in the film along with Henry Cavill, Alicia Vikander, and Elizabeth Debiki, told /Film that producer and co-screenwriter (with Ritchie) Lionel Wigram is working on a sequel:
>I called Lionel Wigram, the producer of the movie, and he and Guy produced it and wrote it all together. I was like, “Dude, what’s the deal? I get asked about this shit all the time. Can you just write a sequel?” He was like, “You know what? Yeah, fuck it, I’ll do it. Sure, I’ll write a sequel.” I was like, “If you write one, I’m sure we can get one made,” so who knows? Today is the first day I’ve actually told anyone that story. I only told one other person who asked. Apparently, the sequel is being written right now. No pressure, Lionel!
It's the definition of 6/10 and none of the cast were big names at the time
Cooper Peterson
Good, it was really fucking good. I really regretted not going to see it when it was out in theaters, and that's rare as hell for me.
Luke Cox
>at the time
Joseph Wood
didn't care much for the movie until this scene
solid 6/10
Ayden White
Armie Hammer is a black hole of charisma
Christian Hughes
This was a 6/10 for u? What scale u usin mejht
I thought it was light hearted fun and does what i expect d, a fun romp in a 50s spy world
Ian Perez
This had a eally great soundtrack. Man of COMFY
Nathan Diaz
You're not wrong, but in this film it suited his rigid russian character.
Hunter Peterson
A forgettable movie if there ever was one.
Jordan Diaz
I didn't realize the original tv show was a mish-mash of cliches, not suited for cinema!
Nolan Moore
>cast the british as an american >cast the american as a russian >cast the swedish as a german
Justin Nelson
ww2 is passe. Time to stop setting movies in it. Wouldn't be a problem if Hollywood could just stop rehashing old franchises and stories.
Thomas Wright
that was the joke... maybe
Nathan Davis
It was during the cold war, you idiot.
Adrian Garcia
>ww2 is passe
Cool, doesnt apply to this thread.
Nolan Hill
god you're stupid
Gavin Brown
Who is the uncle?
Lucas Stewart
Not who....when.
Nicholas Brooks
Great movie. Glad it wasn't chopped off
James Carter
This fucking scene killed me.
Jason Ortiz
>I've never seen it
Shut your fucking face.
Joseph Gutierrez
i didn't mind this movie so am looking forward to another one
Wyatt Peterson
Man from UNCLE made me realize how much I've missed the sexy and stylish action films. It had just the right amount of self-awareness, never becoming too serious or too light-hearted. It's a difficult line to walk and Guy Ritchie walked it perfectly.
Brody Ramirez
This. Stop trying to make him a star.
Justin Johnson
>“You know what? Yeah, fuck it, I’ll do it. Sure, I’ll write a sequel.”
I'm glad he's so passionate about the project
James Watson
all white people look the same
Christopher Collins
>I really don't know why that movie bombed. Warner Brothers released it the same day as Straight Outta Compton, one of the biggest movies of 2015.
Mason Cook
I'm looking forward to this. Ritchie did everything right, especially when he made the awesome storm the castle montage. Much better than another prolonged boring action scene. The music in that scene was great, too.
Charles Baker
I'm ok with this. I liked the first one.
Logan Foster
Watched it in the theatres and bought it on blu-ray. No regrets. I fucking loved it.
This and Sicario were my finest two theatrical weeks ever.
Carter Wood
It had zero marketing. I honestly had never heard of the movie until some user recommended it to me. People would've loved this if they actually went and saw it.
Wyatt Powell
And Man from U.N.C.L.E. is pretty fucking old and not that nostalgic overseas.
David Jenkins
I think you got confused, his name is Henry Cavill
Camden Cruz
Really? He completely took me out of it. The only character he's proven to be good as so far is being a smug rich fuck
Isaac Evans
Awesome! I really enjoyed that movie and couldn't understand why it fell flat at the theaters.
Juan Kelly
>It had zero marketing. That too.
It's the same exact situation that happened with The Nice Guys, which I consider a spiritual sequel to this.
Is there any movie series that did sell well at first but studios pumped them out until they had enough name recognition to start printing money?
Ethan Brooks
Fast and Furious?
Carson Green
Crucify me for this at your whim, but the movie was enjoyable until it completely fell apart in the third act.
>that buildup for an action scene which is actually just them doing a brief car chase swapping computer chips, and that other tease for an action scene which is actually just "hehehe we can just build blow up their submarine from a distance :pppppp" >that "we are friends out of nowhere, even though none of this makes sense since i was ready to kill you just a few seconds before" reveal Really a shame.
Julian Clark
>we are friends out of nowhere He gave back his father's replica, which Armie considered honorable enough that he would spare him. They never became friends.
Andrew Walker
>They never became friends. Right... (and forgive if I'm getting this muddled up in my mind since I've only seen it once), but that's why it then cues to the scene of them smoking a cigar together, burning up the microchip, bragging about we "are da new UNCLE :)"...
They're friends enough that they betray their own governments mate.
But I'd forgotten about the watch, so fair point, but it's retarded anyways since Cavill lost it for him anyways.
Ryder Gonzalez
This was a good film.
Loved the relationship and scenes between Armie and Henry.
Christopher Perry
The Mon from O.N.C.L.E.
Sebastian Brooks
Both goverments wanted something disastrous for each side. Would you as a spy give your goverment the ultimate edge and tech in defeating another country? For what? Patriotism? Loyalty?
America and Soviet Russia are about as dependable as fucking Judas buddy.
Colton Long
wracked the ol' noggin for some further quips and came up short but good one mate
just watched Sellers' The Party and it reminded me a lot of Tati, i'm due for a rewatch
Parker Diaz
great, really fun flick
Cameron James
>Patriotism? Loyalty? Eh, Cavill was fleshed out more than that, but Hammer was patriotism all the way in what his character, and the friendship never really felt like it bloomed with him, so it was weird.
He seemed like your typical "i genuinely want to kill all my enemies" brainwashed-type, even though that most of his angst is mommy issues.
Cavill though, being "devil-may-care", and "am only in the army to escape prison time" thing, well, at least there it worked.
Kayden Smith
Am sleepy, sorry about all my fuck-ups in there.
Ethan Thomas
pure kino
Chase Richardson
Napoleon Solo is a fucking cool name.
Lucas Gray
It really is.
Anthony Diaz
Why it bombed? No idea. Shit like The Accountant made 3 times its budget even tho the script was jumbled shit.
Jacob Price
Uncle was a comfy movie. Liked it a lot
Alexander Morgan
If you're a really dorky porn star
Liam Evans
No marketing. Uncle had like 1% advertisement compared to any other movie at the time.
Elijah Watson
Reported for linking to fake news.
Thomas Moore
It's called "acting".
Dylan Moore
>Reported

Ethan Ward
i watched this movie twice. i thought it was real fun. i don't know why people keep saying Guy Richie isn't making good movies anymore. he makes fantastic movies still. hopefully the sequel works out.
Austin Wilson
King Arthur might be good but I fucking -hate- Charlie Hunnam. Also why does he look like some fucking clubgoing fratfag in it?
Jordan Rivera
I remember watching it thinking "Is this shit made specifically for me?"
Great movie, Guy Ritchie's best since Snatch. Hoping he keeps up with King Arthur, though I kinda doubt it.
Joseph Sullivan
Wait so Cavils character was basically a master thief that got caught and the CIA decided to make him an agent?
Aiden Long
I loved this movie. Mainly because of Henry Cavill 2bh.
Jason Carter
>tfw that's the real reason Armie and Henry were hanging out
Camden Wilson
Thank fuck the movie wasn't a big success or had too much attention, so that now the whole of Sup Forums spergs can admit to like it, as this thread shows
Hunter Morris
But Nice Guys is a spiritual successor to KKBB
Jayden Carter
I loved Nice Guys, but man was it nothing like the trailer led me to believe.
Levi Myers
>no marketing
most of you count "no marketing" as not seeing a commercial or advertisement for it.
I saw plently of commercials for this and the home release. just because something doesn't do well doesn't mean it wasn't marketed well.
success has no rhyme or reason.
also debicki is a qt
Dominic Reyes
Needs to be more of these sorts of spy movies desu, the ones like this and kingsmen
Whens kingsmen 2 out
Ian Baker
Fuck the movie. Put some debicki pics/webms.
Leo Taylor
>I was like, “Dude, what’s the deal? I get asked about this shit all the time. Can you just write a sequel?”
A treasure to the family fortune, this proud example of careful breeding and private education
Gabriel Ward
I agree totally.
Brody Nguyen
Basically this. Idk what it is but i genuinely find the best action films of the last 5 years all seem to be spy movies.
The only exceptions I can think of are the nice guys and drive
Elijah Long
The middle part dragged on and on with no end.
Parker Bennett
The movie didn't succeed because they didn't make individual movies about Illya and Napoleon and the girl first, before putting them all together.
It's been scientifically proven that Americans are to dumb too understand an ensemble piece without watching a 1h45m* ""film"" about each character beforehand.
*any longer and you will surpass the attention span of the American
Jacob Jones
The only person who I've shown this to was my friend John. But I had to drop him as a friend after he tried to rat our weed dealer out for selling weed. Piece of shit.
Luis Young
You sound like a butthurt mudslime
Cameron Scott
Considering the state Sup Forums is in, maybe 5 people got this joke...
Jace Lopez
Good
Juan Cooper
>Elegant Giraffe Elizabeth Debicki will never drug you and lovingly look at you while you pass out before tying you up and dominating you sexually when you come around
Camden Bailey
More of a parody than a haha joke, and either way, being a film that 'old', in whenever you think of Sup Forums, 5 people would get it all the same. And that's probably an exaggeration
btw, based Tati
Josiah Watson
o fuck i hope this goes though
Cooper Moore
I liked that movie mainly because the direction was strongly stylized
But while I was watching it I really just couldn't stop thinking about Austin Powers the whole time
