Guy Ritchie is Returning to His LOCK, STOCK and SNATCH Roots With His New Film TOFF GUYS
Finally! Guy Ritchie is returning to his filmmaking roots with a new film project he's directing called Toff Guys! Ritchie launched his career with films like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. He went on to make big budget films that implemented his signature hyper high energy shooting style, like Sherlock Holmes, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., King Author: Legend of the Sword, and the upcoming Disney film Aladdin.
This next film of his is said to be "set at the intersection of Sexy Beast and Downton Abbey, and follows a very English drug lord attempting to cash out on his highly profitable empire by selling it off to a dynasty of Oklahoma billionaires." Insiders said it’s "about old money, new money, and show me the money."
I've been wondering if Ritchie would ever make a movie like his earlier films again, so it's awesome to see that he's actually doing it! Ritchie also wrote the script for the film, which I imagine will be filled with that witty, rapid-fire dialogue with crazy, quirky characters. It will be interesting to see that English style collide with the American heartland!
I would love to see him cast Jason Statham and a few of the other actors from his earlier projects in this Toff Guys movie.
What do you think about Guy Ritchie going back to his roots with this next film of his?
