Steven Soderbergh is currently negotiating to direct a Man From U.N.C.L.E film starring George Clooney.

I am curious how this one will turn out because this won't be an update, this film be set in the cold war. I always wanted to see what Soderbergh would do in a Bond film but at least this is Fleming's work.

Yeah they are going to keep in The Cold War. I guess it can be the 1960's.
Well CA is suppose to be during World War II but what's this about X-men ?
With Bond, they did make the right call. They were turning back the clock on popular characters in age, not in timelines. Though I do like the idea of a Bond finally being made into a period piece.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
I should have said period film about those. I forgot about Captain America, which is around Rocketeer time period so it should be cool considering it's the same director too. The X-Men Origins First Class movie is supposed to be 60s.
I think the producers made a big mistake not tying the origin of Bond into Dr. No and the classic films. Yes, they would have needed to tone down the action and it would have been more difficult to make. But artistically it would have been the right choice. I think the Brosnan/Tarantino project was going to go the period route. I have a feeling the opening of Casino Royale is black and white just to have the retro feel. Which Tarantino mentioned once. I need to read the ASC magazine with Casino Royale to see if the opening is noted.
In the end, all I know is that the producers actually wondered if Bond should snowboard or ski in The World is not Enough. That alone should tell you what market they want a piece of. I'm sure that since Bond didn't snowboard in TWINE they made him have that silly surfing scene in Die Another Day. Which only proved that Roger Moore is the only Bond that can handle the over the top Bond moments.
