whyareyoulikethisFirst things first, I am hanging on to coherency here by sheer force of will. In fact, this post was two morning cups of coffee away from being nothing but pages and pages of straight up keyboard smashing.
Why?
Because, as the scifiwire reports, Warner Bros has kicked off the script-writing process for a planned reboot of the beloved-by-fandom 1960s TV show, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Some of you might be thinking, "What the fuck are you talking about,whyareyoulikethis? Man From U.N.C.L.E.? Was it a show about a dude with an uncle? Why should I care?"
( For you sad, deprived folks, I offer a brief introduction into the awesome. )
But why reboot?
Others of you might be thinking, "Dear God, no, why must they reboot everything? Why can't Hollywood go bulldoze someone else's sandbox?"
Now the recent trends of rebooting and Fandom is a whole 'nother essay for another day, but I for one generally love reboots. This is probably because I'm shallow and enjoy moar hot people- just think, SPIES: NO UGLIES, it could be coming!- and explosions in my entertainment.
Of course, the MFU reboot could be closer to a Get Smart fail than a Star Trek XI win, but I'm erring on the side of optimism for now. And we can always hope that at the very least it will introduce a whole new group of fans to the show.
Now the only lingering question is: who are they going to get to play them?
( Have a seat on the Fandom Casting Couch, Good Idea/Bad Idea style. )
The MFU film is obviously still in the early stages of development, so who knows when/if it will come to the big screen, but as for me, consider my ticket bought and my pants already peed from excitement. What about you guys? And do you have any casting suggestions?
