New series to premiere Sunday night on AMC, "Monsieur Spade", with Clive Owen in the lead. Possibilities. . .

Don't know who Clive owen is but I like other versions of Sam Spade.

…I don’t know who either one of ‘em is…

Clive Owen has been in the last knights and the bourne identity and others, but those are the only 2 I've seen him in.

 

[HansGruber]

He’s great in “Children of Men”.

Also, the first “Sin City”.

Humphrey Bogart played Sam Spade in the Maltese Falcon.

I'll give it a try for an episode or two. AMC has a pretty good quality record--Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Dark Winds, etc.

Clive Owen is great casting for this.

 

[Grayfox]

Sam Spade in France? Don't sound right to me. Not sure if I'll try it or not.

This begins with Spade as much older, having fallen in love and now living in France, when old foes come calling. The preview is interesting; we shall see.

Also, the first “Sin City”.

Wasn’t he in the one about a NY doctor who was addicted to coke ? Knickerbockers maybe ? He’s been in a lot of stuff. He’s good.

Yep. The Knick, I think it was.

That was a good show. He’s been in quite a few good shows.

If you saw The Bourne Identity, Clive Owen played The Professor, a sniper assigned to kill Bourne among others.

Lisey's Story. That was good too.
