This past Friday, there was an interview with Robert Vaughn in
The Seattle Times about his role in the U.K. show
Hustle. During the interview, Vaughn is asked about a North American DVD release of
Man From U.N.C.L.E., in which he starred as "Napoleon Solo". Here's what was discussed:
Q: In the name of Mr. Waverly, why isn't "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." on DVD?
A: I believe it is coming out this year. The first year was shot in black-and-white. It was one of the reasons it didn't sell quickly as a DVD item.
Q: Will you be doing interviews and commentary?
A: Yes, absolutely!...
Our thanks to reader "Bill" for letting us know about the interview. It's been rumored around the internet in recent weeks that a
Man From U.N.C.L.E. DVD release is being targeted for July, and a studio has even been named in those rumors. We won't repeat that studio name here, though, because they haven't made an announcement and it's not confirmed until they do. We'll try to get them to go on-record, though, so stay tuned and we'll let you know!
