The Warp is reporting that Warner Bros is interested in a list of actors for their upcoming movie “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” and Ryan is one of them. Keep in mind that this is just a rumor, and Ryan is considered for his.
Warner Bros. is looking to freshen up a TV show from the ’60s with one of Hollywood’s emerging young stars, possibly Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ryan Gosling or Alexander Skarsgard, according to an individual close to the production.
The studio is planning a remake of “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and plans to put some pretty heavy resources into the movie. Steven Soderbergh (left) is directing and David Dobkin, Jeffrey Kleeman and John Davis are producing.
Now the search is on for some male leads.
There was talk that George Clooney, who frequently works with Soderbergh, was set to play the lead, but the actor is not in.
The original “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” starred Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. Clooney, presumably, was to play the Vaughn role.
In fact, “The Man” actually was “the men.” Vaughn and McCallum played Napolean Solo and Ilya Kuryakin — agents with the United Network Command for Law Enforcement (i.e. U.N.C.L.E.).
Their nemesis? The evil Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (aka THRUSH).
For the McCallum role, the studio is looking for a leading man in his 20s. Executives have a wish list of about 20 of actors — people like Gordon-Levitt, Gosling, Skarsgard — it would like to see in the movie.
The original was a buddy show, and the big-screen version will be a buddy movie — an action-comedy with a tone like “Lethal Weapon,” and, like the TV show, set in the 1960s.
Ryan is scheduled to appear on Conan (TBS) on Monday September 19th. Please check your local listings for the correct time.

Mo 9/19: Ryan Gosling, Nicole Scherzinger
FilmSchoolRejects is reporting that “Drive” director Nocolas Winding Refn said there is a possibility of Ryan joining the upcoming untitled Terrence Malick project. The movie is still untitled and it was reported Christian Bale was cast as the lead and Mia Wasikowska, Clemence Posey, Rooney Mara and Haley Bennet are considered for the female lead.
Tonight during a hilarious Q & A with Nicolas Winding Refn‘s for his near-perfect film Drive — yes, it’s about as a perfect as a movie can get — the rising auteur dropped two interesting stories. For one, apparently Ryan Gosling will soon be working with Terrence Malick. Refn briefly mentioned that Gosling may do the project after he’s done with Only God Forgives, and before Logan’s Run. Obviously, this news means we’ll be getting the remake a little later than expected.
Fortunately enough, Refn has another project to keep himself busy during that time.
Currently Drive is earning much deserved acclaim, so it’s likely plenty of offers are being thrown the dynamic filmmaker’s way. With his Hollywood stock on the rise, the big question is: What will Refn make after he’s finished Only God Forgives? As one would expect from the director, a film about women. While discussing his feminine side, Refn mentioned he will be collaborating with Carey Mulligan on another project, and that it’ll probably happen after Only God Forgives. The more Refn works, the better.
Side Note: If you can believe such a thing, Drive works even better the second time around. One would be on a fool’s mission to find a legitimate flaw with the film. Make sure to see the filmmaker’s dark, samurai love story on September 16th.
