U.N.C.L.E

• GEORGE CLOONEY ISNT READY TO BE AN U.N.C.L.E.

George Clooney & Steven Soderbergh

 So it looks like star George Clooney and director Steven Soderbergh won't be reuniting for the big screen version of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. after all.

Deadline isn't sure why Clooney is dropping out of the picture, but insists Warner Bros. remains committed to starting production on the espionage flick next February.

Clooney would have played protagonist Napoleon Solo in the flick, the role originated by Robert Vaughn on the 1960s TV series.

In addition to the three Ocean's films, Clooney and Soderbergh also made Solaris, The Good German and Out Of Sight together.
