'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' Is Heading to the Big Screen
by Allison Waldman, posted Apr 14th 2010 6:08PM
They're at it again. Another popular television series from yesteryear, in this case 1964-68, is being remade, reworked and revamped into a big screen movie. 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E,' one of the iconic spy shows spawned by the James Bond craze, has been tapped by Warner Brothers as a theatrical. The Hollywood Reporter reports that David Dobkins, best known for 'Wedding Crashers,' will direct 'The Man from UNCLE' and Max Borenstein is writing the script.The big question now is not when or why, but who. Who will Warners choose to play Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, the two super secret agents of United Network Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.), and even if the casting is perfect, as a follow up, how will they inevitably screw it up? The track record for well-loved TV shows being rejiggered for the silver screen is awful.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. coming to DVD. Not!

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. This is the DVD release equivalent to a tennis match.First it looked like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., the 60s spy spoof show starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, was coming to DVD this year. Then TVShowsonDVD reported that it wasn't coming after all. Now it looks like Amazon has the first season set listed as coming in July, but the DVD site called Anchor Bay and found out that it's still not coming after all, and might not come until 2007.

Hustle: Episode 11

The episode started right in the middle
of the gang's latest cons. Stacie was just about to work her "sex kitten" act when she stopped dead in her
tracks. She just spotted someone that she recognized... her ex-husband, Jake. A crazy twist within the first two
minutes? Bravo, Hustle. Anyway, Stacie's ex-husband ran out on her years and years ago, taking all their
savings with him. To exact revenge on this jerk that betrayed their beloved Stacie, the gang decided to make her ex the
new mark. Stacie explained some of his background to the group and they decided that, by working off his love for poker,
they would fool him with a bent Hold 'Em competition.Hustle: Episode 10

This episode started at an auction house, where a bidding
war over some prized comic book artwork was reaching its climax. It was down to two gentlemen, who brought the price up
to £100,000. Ash, disguised in some cool glasses and a little facial hair, jumped in at the last minute and
offered £110,000. The two other gentlemen looked crushed as the auctioneer finally banged his gavel. The team
looked slightly worried about their new investment as well. What could they possibly do with £110,000 comic book
artwork?Hustle: Episode 6

Whoo... Lots of stuff to cover. Let's get started... The episode started with Mickey and
Danny wrapping up a con in which they tricked a man named Arthur Bond into thinking that they had just helped him
purchase the London Eye. Before Mickey and Danny slip out, Arthur laughed with
great satisfaction over his new "purchase", puffing his cigar and saying, "I usually get what I
want". Another con successfully completed.While Danny grumbled over the fact that the hotel's new receptionist won't go out with him (he keeps insisting that she's either a lesbian or totally frigid because no straight woman in her right mind would turn down Danny Blue), the group moved on to a new con. This time, they planned on taking advantage of Sir Anthony Reeves, utility company CEO, and his gambling habits.
