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
