Tom Cruise Steps Out of 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,' Here Are 5 Guys Who Could Step Into His Role
19 hours ago | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Tom Cruise is taking a step back by stepping out of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. to focus on producing and starring in Mission Impossible 5. Cruise had been slated to co-star with Armie Hammer in the Guy Ritchie directed movie adaptation of the '60s television series. When the project was first launched, Steven Soderbergh was directing and George Clooney was attached to star. Both men have since left the project with Soderbergh slowly slipping into retirement and Clooney focusing on other projects like Gravity and Monuments Men. So who can fill Tom Cruise's spot? Here are five guys who could step in and yes, many of them have worked with Ritchie before.

Tom Cruise Drops Out Of Man From U.N.C.L.E.
20 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Today’s movie quiz: How many Tom Cruise secret agent franchises is too many? According to Tom himself, the number is two, as he’s now decided to drop out of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. at Warner Bros. to focus instead on his favourite fran-child, the Mission: Impossible series.So now there is a Hero Wanted sign back up in the production offices for U.N.C.L.E., as Guy Ritchie reads what will probably be a “Cruise ankles Uncle” headline in Variety and shakes his fist at the bad mojo from the movie gods.It’s just the latest setback for the U.N.C.L.E. adaptation, which aims to take the basic concept of the 1960s spy series – in which Robert Vaughn and David McCallum played agents fighting the evils of Thrush (one more comment about special cream and we are turning this website around, no »
Cruise Exits Richie’s ‘U.N.C.L.E.’!
20 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Sadly not a hilarious (and homoerotic) as that title sounds but breaking news coming out of Tinseltown has superstar Tom Cruise no longer attached at the lead in the Warner Bros’ reboot of the cult 60s series The Man From U.N.C.L.E., set to be directed by Brit Guy Ritchie.
Armie Hammer recently put pen to paper on a deal that will see him partner up with Cruise in what the studio hoped would be a brand new action franchise in much the same vein as Cruise’s own high-tech espionage adventures with Mission: Impossible. Apparently, Cruise has walked away in an effort to get started on the fifth outing of Ethan Hunt and his Imf team, expected to be directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a screenplay by Iron Man 3′s Drew Pearce. Rising stunner Alicia Vikander was also recently added to the cast.

Tom Cruise Exits 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' for 'Mission Impossible 5'
21 hours ago | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Well, this is something of a surprise: According to Deadline, Tom Cruise has exited Warner Bros.' high-profile big-screen version of ‘60s spy show “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” which is co-starring Armie Hammer and being directed by Guy Ritchie. The project was previously being overseen by Steven Soderbergh, potentially as his final movie before retirement, with George Clooney set to star in the part that Cruise just vacated. Clooney's back injury, sustained during the filming of “Syriana,” kept him from doing such a physical role, and after that Soderbergh had trouble finding a suitable replacement that the studio was happy with, so he quietly left the project. It picked up steam again when Ritchie and his “Sherlock Holmes” producing partner Lionel Wigram were handed the film. Cruise would have played Napoleon Solo, a character originated in the series by Robert Vaughn. Hammer will still play Illya Kuryakin, a Russian agent. »

Tom Cruise Drops The Man From U.N.C.L.E. To Focus On Mission: Impossible 5
21 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
After losing both George Clooney as a star and Steven Soderbergh as a director, things finally looked as though they were back on track for the long in-development adaptation of the 60s spy series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Guy Ritchie, who has found recent mainstream success with the Sherlock Holmes movies, became attached to helm last December, Tom Cruise came on-board to play Napoleon Solo in March, and Armie Hammer signed up to play Illya Kuryakin, Napoleon's partner, in April. But once again problems have arisen, as one of those very important pieces is once again missing. Deadline is reporting that Cruise has decided he no longer wants to make The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and instead focus on his already-established franchise based on a spy television series: Mission: Impossible. While Warner Bros. was planning on having Ritchie start production on the new »

Elementary - Episode 23 Review
22 May 2013 11:31 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Matt Smith reviews episode 23 of Elementary...
It’s the penultimate episode of Elementary and things are getting serious, because it’s the penultimate episode and that’s what happens in penultimate episodes. That’s what’s always said, right? In the ads and promotions, it always says ‘penultimate episode’ followed by the main character looking sombre or contemplative? That’s why you don’t get as many ads for ‘penultimate episodes’ in a comedy series. Also because it has the word ‘ultimate’ in it, and that lends itself better to serious drama. I don’t have any hard data to back up my claims; I just get paid for every time I use the word ‘ultimate’. Double if it’s in single ‘quotation’ marks.
And as it’s the penultimate episode, that means we’re one step away from the final time we see Holmes for a good while. It’s been a good run, »

Just when it seemed like Disney’s acquisition of Star Wars and everything that came with it meant the end of anything awesome that was on already here, a ray of sunshine pierced through the dark clouds. While the days of The Clone Wars are over, a new era is upon us. A new series is coming and it promises to take us back to a different time when Star Wars was less about Jedi and more about a growing empire and the small numbers who opposed it. Disney is introducing the next step in its plans for this universe: Star Wars Rebels.
The one-hour animated pilot is in production at Lucasfilm, says Entertainment Weekly, and will premiere in Fall 2014 on the Disney Channel, with the proper ongoing series moving to Disney Xd.

Disney to launch new animated TV series in fall of 2014
20 May 2013 1:09 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
Just after Cartoon Network aired the final episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars fifth season, it was announced that there would be no sixth for the award winning and critically acclaimed animated series. For some, this was not a huge surprise. Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm last summer, many had speculated on what would be the future of anything Star Wars related that would not be airing on any Disney owned channel.
For others, it was horrible news. The Clone Wars series was the most adult of all the animated products that were spun off from the movie franchise, and under the helm of a great creative team, showed that Star Wars could be fun, dangerous and well-written despite the baggage left by George Lucas and his prequel movie series. The show ran for five seasons on Cn, where it enjoyed good ratings and hundred plus episodes, which now made it available to aired daily. »

Before "Star Wars Episode VII" hits theaters in 2015, you'll get to see another product of the marriage of Disney and Lucasfilm.
A new animated series called "Star Wars Rebels" is set to make its debut in the fall of 2014. As first reported by EW, the show will air its premiere on the Disney Channel before moving to Disney Xd for its series run.
The show is set in the time between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope," which should give the show lots of material to mine as the Empire consolidates power and the Rebellion begins to take shape. There's no word yet on whether the show will follow characters "Star Wars" fans already know, introduce new ones or do some of both.
You will, however, see some familiar-looking objects. Executive producer Dave Filoni ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars") says in the video below -- with drawings of »
