Such a shame Tom Cruise was cast as Solo for the new MFU movie

[carabele]

It's a crying shame cause, reading Burns synopsis of the screenplay plot, it does have possibilities. (Like that they are using a real-life Cold War incident as the basis.)

But Cruise isn't Napoleon Solo, no matter what.

I have no clue about the actor cast as Illya. Not familiar with him at all.

But of course the "powers-that-be" might not even keep the Burns screenplay either. Who the hell knows at this point?

P.S.: Here's an article on the actual incident being referenced in the screenplay: Palomares_B-52_crash

Yes, but communicators were limited to those within U.N.C.L.E., and communications there would need to relay a message that needed to go to someone else. And communicators worked on a certain frequency only. If wasn't an U.N.C.L.E. device, like ones the guys occasionally got from some Thrushie (something as what happened in THE MAZE AFFAIR) -- the device had to be reconfigured to use the U.N.C.L.E. frequency.

Whereas with a cell, you can virtually contact anyone immediately. So direct access; no waiting; no intermediary; no special frequency.
