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

A new movie was never going to be an image of what we see in the series. I just hope they make a good movie that people can relate to. Reinventing something that is 50 years old is just like starting from scratch.
I still can't watch the Bourne Identity and relate it to the book. It's good, it just isn't BI. MFU will be like that if it's well done. It won't be OUR MFU, no matter who's in the title roles.
