SDCC 2015: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Gets An Explosive Extended Comic-Con Trailer

The Warner Bros. line-up at San Diego Comic Con took full advantage of the Hall H crowd today as it unveiled its slate. As such, director Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was on hand to deliver the goods. Actor Henry Cavill was a busy bee on Saturday to help promote the film as one of two titles he's starring in, here now along with Armie Hammer and actress Alicia Vikander lending her share of the charm to this theatrical rendition of the classic TV series from which it's based.

The film's release is slightly over a month away so it sounds proper that this would get dibs with Comic-Con goers this weekend. You can see what the studio unveiled in a new five-minute promo below!

SDCC 2015: Warner Bros Announces Its Hall-H Presentation Slate

Heads are going to explode next weekend.

The haterade has since long dissipated since the first teasers aired between last summer and this Spring for Zack Snyder's Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and now fans have commense clamoring for an exclusive look at the film arriving March Of next year. It's one of three titles being represented by Warner Bros. along with the remaining two, Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Joe Wright's Pan, both heading to theaters this coming August and October, respectively, although obviously the former is the biggest headliner. Considering Marvel isn't showing up, the studio behind DC Entertainment's ambitious slate should have plenty of room to lay out just how it will follow up two years of hype following Man Of Steel.

More can be seen at the official Comic-Con International website. Beyond that, cue the press release!

Warner Bros. Pictures continues its tradition of delivering its most anticipated tentpole properties and their biggest stars to Comic-Con International: San Diego with this year’s Hall H presentation. 

On Saturday, July 11, beginning at 10:30 a.m., Warner Bros. will showcase several of its upcoming feature releases and offer up a surprise or two as well. 

Keen to deliver a taste of one of next year’s most eagerly awaited pairings, director Zack Snyder and stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill take the main stage with “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” They are joined by castmates Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot for a sneak peek at the 2016 action adventure that brings the Super Heroes together on the big screen for the very first time, from Warner Bros. Pictures and RatPac-Dune Entertainment. 

From “Pan,” Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund and Peter himself, Levi Miller, together with director Joe Wright, soar into town with their high-flying adventure, coming to theaters this fall from Warner Bros. Pictures and RatPac-Dune Entertainment. 

And Cavill once again takes the stage, this time with Armie Hammer, a duo with a very different dynamic in this summer’s fresh, über-stylish actioner from filmmaker Guy Ritchie, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” along with fellow stars Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Debicki. 

Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, stated, “Comic-Con provides us a fantastic opportunity to interact with the fans and this year, as with every year, our aim is to surpass their expectations. We’re also thrilled to give our filmmakers and talent a chance to experience the unique energy and enthusiasm of Comic-Con.” 

With “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and “Pan” headlining the bill, Warner Bros. will also present some unexpected offerings that are sure to delight the crowd.

Things Get Messy In The New Trailer For THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.!

Aside from no longer starring in his recent efforts toward British SAS thriller, Stratton, standing the test of time on the big screen outside of the blue and red Superman outfit shouldn't be too difficult for actor Henry Cavill. He's got the fanbase he needs ahead of the upcoming Guy Ritchie-directed The Man From U.N.C.L.E. whereupon he's primarily front and center and joined by actor Armie Hammer who could probably use the recovery after his last stint in The Lone Ranger.

The film also services quite well as an adaptation of the classic TV series, coupled with its overall interest in a mix of espionage and suspense with a dash of international comedic wit and some sexual innuendo to boot. We'll see how it pans out though when the film releases on August 14, but at least we've since garnered the new poster you see above in addition to a brand new trailer now circulating online. Check it out below with Alicia Vikander and Hugh Grant also starring!

SYNOPSIS:

Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel”) stars as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) as Illya Kuryakin in director Guy Ritchie’s action adventure “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960s television series.  

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin.  Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology.  The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

Henry Cavill in THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. From Warner Bros. Pictures (2015)

Man Of Steel star, actor Henry Cavill's days as a Kryptonian exile-turned-superhuman savior a la Zack Snyder will stake his claim once more next year in the growing ensemble lead-in to the  Justice League two-parter in the next several years with Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. In the meantime, while he's not taking flight and battling intergalactic foes, he's got plenty of other big screen titles to look forward to while maintaining other ends of film business behind the camera, including helping to manage the production of the forthcoming book adaptation, Stratton.

Cavill, who has been pushing for the project under his shared Promethan Productions banner with brother Charlie and producer Rex Glensy for some time now, will be starring in the title role. Former military serviceman-turned-author pen-named Duncan Falconer launched the original eight-part literary series in 2003 from which the film will be based, aimed at following the story of SBS commando and Northern-Ireland intelligence operative John Stratton as he and his team set out to eliminate an international terrorist cell.

Further details are pending regarding who will be cast to join the title character for his action-packed exploits, although news from Screendaily has finally confirmed the directorial services of Con-Air, The Mechanic and The Expendables 2 helmer Simon West who is just coming off the latest limited theatrical release of his newest crime pic, Wild Card starring Jason Statham.Both Cavill and West are keen on sticking to the source material and delivering a faithful transition of the story beginning with the first book for a UK-based production, and so hopefully this newest venture will mark the start of its own franchise since it only seems fitting.

Amber Entertainment Ltd.'s Ileen Maisel and Lawrence Elman who intially optioned the project will co-produce with Promethean while GFM Films will finance and handle its sales as filming kicks off in the U.K. and Italy this Summer.

West's Wild Card is available right now on video-on-demand and will release on DVD and Blu-Ray in North America on March 31 from Lionsgate. In the meantime, Cavill will be joined by Armie Hammer in the new Guy Ritchie-directed espionage action comedy adaptation, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. for which a trailer is now making the rounds before its theatrical release this August from Warner Bros.

Stay tuned for more information.
