Cooper Says U.N.C.L.E

Bradley Cooper is now at the top of the list to star in Steven Soderbergh's version of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." reports Variety.

The original 60's series saw Robert Vaughn and David McCallum as two agents of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.), who fought the forces of Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (T.H.R.U.S.H.).

Cooper would play Napoleon in the pic

Ryan Gosling, Alexander Skarsgård, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Robert Pattinson Leonardo DiCaprio Ryan Reynolds were on the same list at one point. And one of them could take the other male lead I suppose.

George Clooney was gonna play the role but has since left the pic Cooper is almost done with "The Silver Linings Playbook", and then it's on to "Paradise Lost" in January. "U.N.C.L.E." would start up in March/April

Scott Z. Burns wrote the latest script draft

David Dobkin, Jeff Kleeman and John Davis are producing the action comedy which will be set in the 60's
