More MFU Movie News...

Seems the script for the Soderbergh-helmed MFU movie will stick close to the original concept of the show in using an innocent to forward the story.

Here's the appropos info from Playlist:

Like "Haywire," the idea for 'UNCLE' is to feature a colorful and name-brand cast in various supporting roles. Once the two leads are in place, supporting players will come into play. If you recall the original 1960s show on NBC (which starred Robert Vaughn and David McCallum as the two leads), part of the episode premises was often times recruiting or incorporating a civilian into the 'U.N.C.L.E.' duo’s plan. The script by Scott Z. Burns plays with this concept as well. Two females being mentioned for parts have been Emily Blunt (who starred in “Wind Chill” by Gregory Jacobs, Soderbergh’s longtime producing partner) and Imogen Poots (from the Soderbergh executive produced “Solitary Man”), but there’s nothing concrete there yet. Potential female roles are the aforementioned civilian and Lisa Rogers, a female U.N.C.L.E. agent who appeared in the fourth season of the TV show.

And I have to say, at least those the two women mentioned are better actresses than Barbara Moore. I would think Blunt would be the one being considered for the Rogers part. I do like her as an actress.
