Steven Soderbergh, the director of 'Out of Sight' and 'Ocean's Eleven,' almost made this buddy cop spy movie with frequent collaborator George Clooney
The Big Picture Steven Soderbergh is undoubtedly one of the most energetic filmmakers of his generation. It seems like he makes a few new films with every piece of developing technology that emerges in the streaming landscape, and no one really believed him when he claimed to retire in the 2010s.
Despite the awkwardness of seeing Hammer in such a prominent role , Ritchie’s version of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is actually pretty fun and does a great job at recapturing the nostalgic vibes of 1960s-era espionage. It’s certainly better than it has any right to be, and certainly has fun lampooning the hyper-serious ways that the espionage genre has become more gritty in the wake of Daniel Craig’s James Bond films and the Bourne franchise.
Soderbergh Knows Movie Stars That being said, it’s not that Soderbergh has only directed espionage films about younger protagonists. His neo-noir revenge film The Limey used the influence of John Boorman’s neo-noir classic Point Blank to examine the life of an elder assassin and agent; Clooney wouldn’t have been quite at the same age as Terrence Stamp during the time of the potential production of Soderbergh’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
