Soderbergh loses his Kuryakin...

Seems Steven Soderbergh has lost his preferred casting choice for Illya Kuryakin in his proposed new MFU movie.

Joel Kinnaman instead has been cast as Lancelot in the upcoming WB ARTHUR & LANCELOT movie. Apparently Soderbergh had made it known to the WB execs he wanted Kinnaman for the role of Illya in MFU after meeting with the actor. But WB decided to offer Kinnaman the role of Lancelot instead.

Apparently the MFU movie is being planned for a December 2012 release

Here's the latest rumor on that:

MAGIC MIKE will be Soderbergh’s first of two films in 2012, with his focus now being put on THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., which is gearing up to begin shooting in late February for a rumoured December release.
