It looks as if British director Guy Ritchie and his production partner Lionel Wigram are going to be the new team behind the resurrected adventures of Napoleon Solo, The Man From UNCLE.

According to a report at Deadline, Ritchie and Wigram are coming on board the revamp, which recently suffered the losses of prospective star George Clooney and director Steven Soderbergh. Ritchie will direct the movie, following his successes with the two Sherlock Holmes films, the latter of which premieres in the UK today.
