While it was reported recently that Limitless actor Bradley Cooper was in talks to star as the title character in the upcoming big screen adaptation of the classic TV show The Man From UNCLE, it appears as that’s no longer the case; as he has now left talks for the movie; leaving the role up for grabs once again.
George Clooney (Ocean’s Eleven) has already passed on the role of super-spy Napoleon Solo (the role Cooper has just declined), and it’s not clear who Warner Bros. will be looking to next, though at least for the moment they still have Steven Soderbergh (Contagion) attached to direct, from a script written by Contagion‘s Scott Z Burns.
