George Clooney may play the big screen version of debonair spy Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie. Clooney's pal Steven Soderbergh, whom he's worked with on six films together (the three Ocean's Eleven films, Solaris, Out of Sight and The Good German) is attched to make the TV-to-film adaptation for Warner Bros. Reportedly the movie studio has signed off on Soderbergh's vision of the film which keeps the original TV show's 1960s setting as its milieu.
