The Man from Uncle - The Steven Soderbergh version


I was reading an article the other day which pointed to a forgotten history of the UNCLE movie.
Originally Steven Soderbergh was attached to direct the new version of UNCLE. I always assumed that Soderbergh's version only went as far as some raw ideas. However, it appears that Soderbergh's version went way beyond raw ideas and there was a finished script.

According to this article there was a finished script by Scott Z. Burns who is now called upon to polish the upcoming Bond 25 script. It would be great to see that script some day and see what Soderbergh had in mind. Here is the link to the article and a quote:

"He also wrote the unproduced “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea” script for David Fincher, the unproduced version of “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” for Soderbergh"
