The Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie may have a December 2014 release date, according to a member of the cast.

Misha Kuznetsov, who is listed on the movie’s IMDB.COM ENTRY as playing “Oleg (KGB),” posted a picture of himself and co-star Armie Hammer on the VK social network site. The caption read, “Armie Harmer … Лондон на съемках Man from Uncle!! Comming next December 2014 !!!!”

Warner Bros. hasn’t disclosed a release date for the film, in which Hammer’s Illya Kuryakin will be oppose Henry Cavill’s Napoleon Solo. The official Warners site lists Horrible Bosses 2 for Nov. 26, 2014, and The Hobbit: There And Back Again for Dec. 17.

December would seem like a tight fit. Presumably Warners wouldn’t want to put U.N.C.L.E. too close to one of its own releases, particularly the finale of The Hobbit trilogy. According to A CHART on The Numbers website, other December 2014 releases include an Annie remake from Sony and Night at The Museum 3 from 20th Century Fox.

The Guy Ritchie-directed U.N.C.L.E. movie completed principal photography last week. If the December 2014 date does materialize, that would be three months after the 50th anniversary of the original television series starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. We’ll see.
