Henry Cavill & Armie Hammer in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Sneak Peek

Henry Cavill ditches his Superman suit for a sleek tux in this summer's silver-screen adaptation of the 1960s TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The Man of Steel actor calls the film, which is directed by Guy Ritchie, "a cool, sexy and especially not heavy Cold War spy thriller."

Cavill, 31, stars as CIA agent Napoleon Solo alongside Armie Hammer, who plays KGB agent Illya Kuryakin. The two put aside their longstanding hostilities to stop a mysterious international criminal organization and prevent worldwide catastrophe.

Anna Karenina's Alicia Vikander takes the lead female spot as the daughter of a mysteriously vanished German scientist who helps Cavill and Hammer's characters infiltrate the international criminal organization. Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby) joins the cast as Victoria Vinciguerra, the driving force behind a worldwide shipping company with a questionable past.



And Hugh Grant takes on the role of Waverly, the head of the U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement) organization.

"They're both wonderful people and a pleasure to work with," Cavill says of Hammer and Grant, whom he enjoyed joking around with on set. "Any funny stories I'm going to keep to myself, though. No telling tales out of school."

The film displays some of the era's most distinct fashions, designed by Oscar-nominated Joanna Johnston.

Cavill says the film's unique style helped him get into character, adding that "it's very defining" to act in costume.

Still, his favorite part was working with Ritchie.

Henry Cavill Gives Man From U.N.C.L.E. Cast and Crew Challenge Coins As Production Wraps 1

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice star Henry Cavill has apparently given a number of production workers on his just-wrapped (we assume) film The Man From U.N.C.L.E. commemorative "Challenge Coins," and one of the recipients posted an image of the coin, and the note that accompanied it, to the Internet, where it was picked up by HenryCavill.org, a fan-news site.

You can see the image above.

From Wikipedia: A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion (usually military but, as in this case, not necessarily), bearing an organization’s insignia or emblem and carried by the organization’s members. Traditionally, they are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. In addition, they are also collected by service members. In practice, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They are also exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization.

When James Gunn recently distributed them to members of the U.S. military during a special screening of Guardians of the Galaxy, we noted that organizations often use the coins in a drinking game: a challenger presents their coin, prompting other members of the organization to do so as well. If all members have their coin on their person, the challenger has to buy a round of drinks. If someone fails to present one, they have to buy

Henry Cavill: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Pushed Back to Next August

Warner Bros. and Guy Ritchie's reiminagining of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which will star Man of Steel's Henry Cavill and Lone Ranger's Armie Hammer, will be released next August, a seven-month delay from its planned January release, the studio announced today.

No specific reason was given for the delay, and while it's easy to assume the worst when a long delay happens, the fact that it was moved from January to late summer would seem to suggest that Warners actually has more rather than less faith in the film.

After years of production delays, Warner Bros.’ film adaptation of the hit 1960s spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. will finally hit the big screen next year. The movie was directed by one of the studio’s favorite directors, Guy Ritchie.

Man of Steel’s Henry Cavill was cast as Napoleon Solo, the role Tom Cruise was supposed to have at one point. The Lone Ranger’s Armie Hammer will play Illya Kuryakin. Hugh Grant also has a role in the film.

At one point, the movie was also set to be directed by Steven Soderbergh and starred George Clooney, but that also never materialized. Soderbergh ended up being replaced by Ritchie, who directed the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes moves for Warner Bros.

Henry Cavill & Armie Hammer film ‘U.N.C.L.E.’ in Rome: who would you rather?

That Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit trailer just gave me Cold War nostalgia, which is probably why I’m finally covering some of these photos from the film shoot for The Man from U.N.C.L.E., starring Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill. The Vespa photos are from last night, the shadowy pics of Henry standing alone are from a few weeks ago (I just never got around to publishing them). So far the film shoot (it’s been directed by Guy Ritchie) has just been taking place in Rome.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of The Man from UNCLE television show, so I don’t really know what’s supposed to be happening in these pics. From what I gather, Henry is playing the American spy (Napoleon Solo) and Armie Hammer is playing the Soviet spy (Illya Kuryakin). I’m curious to hear Armie’s attempt at a Russian accent. Will it be better or worse than Kenneth Branagh’s? The film also features Hugh Grant, Alicia Vikander (who is everywhere these days) and Jared Harris. The plot involves Illya and Napoleon working together to defeat a “criminal organization”. In the 1960s.

Hugh Grant films with Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer on his first day on The Man From U.N.C.L.E Rome set (lots of pictures)

His co-stars have been filming since late last month and Hugh Grant finally joined them on the set of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. on Wednesday.

The 53-year-old actor was dapper in a dark three-piece suit, white shirt and sunglasses as he filmed scenes in Rome for the big screen remake of the 1964 television series.

Hugh’s character Alexander Waverly, the British head of the multi-national intelligence organisation U.N.C.L.E., was meeting with American agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Russian agent Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer).

Set at the height of the Cold War, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (which stands for United Network Command for Law Enforcement), was originally a TV series created by Sam Rolfe, Robert Vaughn and David McCallum.

It aired on NBC for four years from 1964 and has been adapted by director Guy Ritchie for the big screen.
Cavill plays Agent Solo, the part played by Robert Vaughn in the original US TV series, who teams up with Hammer’s operative Kuryakin (previously portrayed by David McCallum) to join forces against a mysterious criminal organisation.

CLAIM: Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer Fighting on The Man From U.N.C.L.E.?

GOSSIP COP
September 18, 2013

RUMOR:

According to Star, “Tensions are high between hotties Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”

“Henry and Armie barely talk on set — and when they do, it’s not pretty,” a so-called “insider” tells the tabloid.

The Star source explains, “Henry considers himself a highly trained thespian and believes that Armie is only interested in making popcorn movies and being famous.”

THE FACTS:

And maybe Star should stop wasting ours.

Sources close to the situation tell Gossip Cop that everyone’s “getting along,” and that the tabloid report is totally “false.”
