Matt Helm, the spy who personified Sixties pop culture, is coming back to the big screen. But this ain't your old man's Matt Helm- the new script will present him as a hard-as-nails modern day Jack Bauer-type agent. This would be in line with the series of paperback thrillers by Donald Hamilton. When Columbia Pictures brought four of these titles to the screen, Hamilton fans were horrifed to discover that virtually every aspect of the books had been discarded in favor of turning the stories into spy spoofs suited to Dean Martin's well-known penchant for booze and broads. Four Matt Helm films were made between 1966 and 1969: The Silencers, Murderer's Row, The Ambushers and The Wrecking Crew. A fifth film, The Ravagers was announced but never made. The Helm movies were regarded as guilty pleasures even in their day but all were successful at the box-office. Now, plans are afoot to bring Helm back in major motion picture. www.latinoreview.com has an evaluation of the script - and it sounds like Donald Hamilton will finally get his revenge.
