The attendant made a note of the customer’s vehicle license number on the certificate, although at the time, he did not link it to the Lindbergh kidnapping. At that time, an alert gas station attendant in New York City became suspicious when a customer used a $10 gold certificate to pay for his gas – all gold certificates were to have been turned in to banks by April 1933, when the United States went off the gold standard. The Lindbergh case remained unsolved for two-and-a-half years, until September 1934. 14.Įd Symkus covers movies for More Content Now.The Lindbergh baby kidnapping was one of the rare cases when a marked bill was found in circulation, and helped crack the case: But I think every movie sets itself for another one, don’t they? Just in case? It’s very rare to see a movie where you go, “Oh! Everyone’s dead!” But we won’t know about any real rumblings of it until the world’s seen the movie, and we get numbers back. Q: Was there any talk about the possibility of a franchise even before you started this one?Ĭavill: You make a movie to be its own thing, and there’s the idea of setting up for future stuff. So it’s like a “what-we-felt-but-on-steroids” version. What’s surprising is how, in the post-process, Guy can just enhance everything. Were you surprised at the result?Ĭavill: We had a good idea of the tone of the movie as well as what it was going to look like. Q: You make the film in small pieces, then when you’re through, those pieces are put together. Hammer: We went to 1960s spy school, so nothing that we learned was useful. It’s not like we went to spy training school, or anything. Q: Did you do any special action training for the film?Ĭavill: We did some fight choreography stuff. How can we fix this?” And we would throw our ideas in, for everyone else’s character as well as our own, and Guy would either like it or not like it. So say this instead.” It was a shape-shifting script, from the beginning.Ĭavill: Even on the day of shooting, Guy would see us do the scene and say, “This isn’t working. Sometimes the actors will change things and sometimes he’ll go, “You know, on paper that looks really good, but it doesn’t sound good when you say it. And then through the rehearsal process, things change, things evolve. I’d dare say that Guy probably thought that the script wouldn’t be all the way prepared until he rehearsed with all the actors. Q: How much freedom did you have with the script? I could be myself around him, and not worry about offending him. He treats you like a human being and an equal. But the surprise really is how laid back he is. When they say he’s laid back, I mean he is really laid back.Ĭavill: No, we’re joking. Hammer: There was a new surprise every day. Q: When you finally got to work with Guy Ritchie, were there any surprises? I did one other audition for Napoleon, with Guy, at his house. Then Tom Cruise left, and they thought, “Hold on, these two guys worked quite well together. Actually, I was auditioning for the Ilya part, while Tom Cruise was set to play Napoleon Solo. Guy was what attracted me to the job in the first place. But the main attraction for me was to work with Guy Ritchie.Ĭavill: Very much the same for me. Truth be told, I went through an extensive audition process, which included screen tests, and the whole thing. The two actors shared an extremely relaxed, sometimes goofy interview at Claridge’s in London. But both guys are again stepping into the shoes of famous characters in Guy Ritchie’s adaptation of the’60s TV show “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” The film is an origin story of how CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Cavill) and KGB operative Ilya Kuryakin (Hammer), who meet as bitter enemies in the midst of the Cold War, come to work together in the secret organization United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. Sorry, there’s not going to be a “Lone Ranger” sequel. Cavill will do it again in when he goes up against Ben Affleck in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” in the spring. Cavill won the roles of Clark Kent/Superman in “Man of Steel,” and Hammer was the Lone Ranger in, well you know the movie. Actors Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer have both had their shots at playing iconic characters. ![]()
