LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Guy Ritchie's highly anticipated upcoming untitled film will kick off production this Thursday, January 14th in Doha, Qatar and will also shoot in Antalya, Turkey. The film reunites Ritchie once again with action-thriller phenomenon Jason Statham, marking their second film together for Miramax following WRATH OF MAN, and will also feature Aubrey Plaza (HAPPIEST SEASON, PARKS AND RECREATION) Cary Elwes (SAW, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, STRANGER THINGS) and Bugzy Malone (THE GENTLEMEN).
"Guy and Jason have repeatedly impressed audiences with their collaborations, and we're looking forward to bringing this production to the city of Doha, Qatar, a growing market in the entertainment and media space," says beIN Media Group chairman, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. "The film marks our third collaboration with Ritchie, adding to our expanding list of nearly 20 projects having been released or currently in production since beIN's acquisition of Miramax - a testament to our continued success achieving the target goals we set forth for the studio's evolution while remaining committed to prioritizing investments in innovative and culturally relevant films."
In the film, MI6 guns-and-steel agent ORSON FORTUNE (Statham) is recruited by a global intelligence agency to track down and stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology that threatens to disrupt the world order. Reluctantly paired with CIA high-tech expert SARAH FIDEL, Fortune sets off on a globe-trotting mission where he will have to use all of his charm, ingenuity and stealth to track down and infiltrate billionaire arms broker GREG SIMMONDS.
Ritchie will direct and produce from a screenplay written by Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies (The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man), with revisions by Ritchie. Atkinson will also produce. Bill Block will produce for Miramax, which is also fully financing the film, and STX will distribute directly in the US, UK and Ireland and in the rest of the world through its network of international distribution partners. STXfilms had great success last year with Ritchie's The Gentlemen, which grossed $115 million at the worldwide box office.

More and more ambitious collaborations between award-winning actors and directors have been rising to the forefront, and yet another is about to hit the docket. Per an exclusive report from Deadline, crime comedy specialist Guy Ritchie is announcing his next project as a currently-untitled big-budget action movie that is bringing aboard Witcher alum Henry Cavill, and two of Ritchie's recent co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza Gonzlez.
Currently without a title, Guy Ritchie's upcoming film will see him at the helm as director, writer, and producer alongside his partner Ivan Atkinson, and John Friedberg of Black Bear International, who also worked on Ritchie's two previous films. Stars officially cast for the movie so far include three of Ritchie's recent collaborators. Henry Cavill previously worked with Ritchie on his 2015 spy film The Man From U.N.C.L.E, and will co-star with Eiza Gonzlez on the director's other upcoming spy action flick The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Jake Gyllenhaal, the third entry to the cast, also starred in Ritchie's recent wartime action thriller The Covenant.
The three of them will lead the charge on this new project which is slated to be another spy action flick in Ritchie's repertoire, this time with a very, very substantial budget. Specifics of the plot and the project's potential title are being kept mostly under lock and key for now, but so far we know that the premise will revolve around two extraction specialists who must plan a flawless escape route for a high-profile female negotiator. This could already hint at whom the three actors will likely be cast as, though not yet confirmed. Ritchie had this to say about what to expect from the film:
No other casting announcements have been made for the film as of yet, as well as no preliminary release date. Production is set to begin this summer in Spain. Black Bear International is currently shopping the film around at Cannes.
