A few of us were discussing the 1960s spy movies like 007, Man from Uncle, Matt Helm, and Derek Flint. Flint stroke a nerve and it was decided that they should be remade for a new day. But who to play the man himself? Using James Coburn as a template we decided that the actor has to have a sense of real cool about him. Nothing fake or manufactured. He can't be too old (he might have to mark three or four movies) or too young (Flint was a mature man). He has to be in shape, straight, and American.
We decided that Matthew McConaughey was the best fit. What say you? Or maybe you prefer Matt Helm?
