Apple TV+ lands star-studded spy thriller 'Argylle' from Matthew Vaughn

"Stardusts"?  :D

I assume with that cast it'll be at least partly campy and comedic.  I don't think a straight spy thriller suits Matthew Vaughn's style.

AppleTV+ is really trying. They have got a lot in the pipeline too. Someone at Apple must see some big potential.

Succeeding? That's a different discussion. 

This has a lot of potential, lots of talented actors and some more cinema quality production. This is the kind of content that will set Apple TV+ service apart. They won't all be hits but it's a good direction to go in. The problem with TV series is they draw out the story too much and it waters down the entertainment. It offers more runtime but it's usually weaker overall unless it's top-end production like Game of Thrones. Movies are more concise and this encourages leaving the weaker parts on the cutting room floor.

Even though top productions like The Madalorian are good for a TV series, the Star Wars movies are still far above it in terms of quality and mindshare.

The following says this movie will be the first of three:

That describes it like an alternative James Bond series:

"When I read this early draft manuscript I felt it was the most incredible and original spy franchise since Ian Fleming’s books of the ’50s,” Vaughn said in a statement. “This is going to reinvent the spy genre.”"

The movie The Man from Uncle with Cavill wasn't very good but he was ok in Mission Impossible. That site also suggests they may be hiding some details in that it could be Bryce Dallas Howard that's the novelist-turned-spy and not Cavill.

Why have you posted the trailers for a load of different films?  I think everyone understands that actors are in other things.

Oh, so *that’s* what Samuel L Jackson looks like. I always wondered.
