See Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer Be Spy Bros in ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ Trailer!
Currently blowing up your feeds is the trailer for Guy Ritchie’s newest film, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., a feature film adaptation of the old TV series. If you haven’t seen it yet YOU NEED TO.
The film stars Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Debicki, who might be my new celebrity crush.
I’m a big fan of Guy Ritchie’s bombastic style, and this film oozes his swagger. It’s sexy, thrilling, amusing and incredibly well-crafted in the right ways.
We can all make jokes about this film being Superman fighting the Lone Ranger (who wants to remember that movie?) but I think it has the potential to be a really great buddy cop action movie for the modern age. That’s a genre I confess to kind of miss. Plus, Cold War-era spy thrillers are back in vogue with Archer and The Americans kicking all sorts of ass. If you aren’t sold yet, why not?
Also, I’m just really glad Armie Hammer is still working. The Lone Ranger was a total mistake, but I like his screen presence and I think he has the potential to be a great leading man. It’d be a shame if his talents weren’t used to their full advantage.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is slated for release August 14, 2015. Oh man, August. I can’t wait for the weather to be nice and hot again. Fuck this snow.
Side note: Guy Ritchie has just joined Twitter (@RealGuyRitchie) and Instagram (@GuyRitchie). I hope it’s just him handling his social media and not a PR team. Guy Ritchie’s eyes through Instagram filters could be insane. Follow him! Just don’t stalk him, of course.
