The second image for Guy Richie's film has been revealed today. The photograph released by Warner Bros. features Henry Cavill driving a Vespa with Armie Hammer for "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." movie. Online site Movieweb.com says the duo hijacked the scooter for a "very rare action" flick.
The second snapshot shows Henry Cavill known from "Man of Steel" together with "The Social Network's" Armie Hammer appears against the backdrop of the early 1960s wearing dark suits and pants riding a scooter seemingly ready for a chase.
The Global Dispatch previously noted that fans should expect Ritchie's approach similar to Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in Sherlock Holmes adaptation depicting action combined with humor which had been a big hit to viewers.
"The Man from U.N.C.L.E." stars Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer as Illya Kuryakin. The film is a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960s television series set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin forced to put aside longstanding hostilities. The two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.
According to flicks and bits, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." is the first film to be made under Ritchie/Wigram Productions, a new production shingle of filmmaker Guy Ritchie and producer Lionel Wigram which has a first-look deal with Warner Bros.
The screenplay is written by Ritchie and Wigram. John Davis of "Chronicle" and Steve Clark-Hall of "RocknRolla, the Sherlock Holmes films" are also producing with David Dobkin as the executive producer.
Reportedly, two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography John Mathieson, production designer Oliver Scholl, editor James Herbert, Oscar-nominated costume designer Joanna Johnston and Oscar-winning key makeup and hair designer Sarah Monzani join Ritchie's behind-the-scenes creative team.
