How many projects does Guy Ritchie currently undertake and who continues to fund them? The man gives Ridley Scott a run for his money as the most prolific director in Hollywood.
Deadline is reporting on Ritchie’s next film. The film “Wife & Dog” will star Benedict Cumberbatch, Rosamund Pike, and Anthony Hopkins. This is an amazing staff.
Details of the film’s plot are being kept under wraps, but it is being described as “a return to the colorful world of the British aristocracy that Ritchie explored in the film and TV series The Gentlemen.” Filming is scheduled to begin in February 2025 in the United Kingdom.
Ritchie, who has directed five projects in the past four years, already has one film in the can (“In the Grey”) scheduled for release in January 2025, and now has two films scheduled to shoot next year. When will it stop? As long as Hollywood allows it to happen…
Ritchie will direct from this year’s action-comedy “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” as well as Netflix’s “The Gentlemen.” He also has the film “Fountain of Youth” starring Natalie Portman and John Krasinski, which wrapped production in the summer and will also be released in 2025.
English-born Ritchie initially built his career in the crime comedy and British comedy genres, from Snatch to Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, and he amassed a fanbase in the late ’90s and early ’90s that would follow him anywhere. gold. Of all the Tarantino rip-offs that came after Pulp Fiction, Ritchie seemed like a filmmaker who could keep it going.
The problem was that the direction he decided to take next, and the subsequent paycheck-driven studio fare he was involved with, was not what his original fans signed up for — “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword,” “Aladdin,” and “Aladdin.” “. “The Man From UNCLE” (not bad) “Swept Away” and two “Sherlock Holmes” movies.
Say what you will about Ritchie, he’s had plenty of duds in his filmography, but I was absolutely obsessed with his Jason Statham-released pandemic vehicle, Rage of Man, which featured the best direction of his career and, in terms of style and tone, was… A bold effort. Last year, Ritchie released his first war film, Covenant, a rather impressive technical achievement that seems to have gone down well with audiences.
