Guy Ritchie’s next film, The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare, is an action comedy with a promising ensemble will be going up against a vampire in its opening weekend this spring.
Lionsgate has announced that the next film from Snatch director Guy Ritchie, The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare, will be releasing on the 19th April (thanks, Deadline). The film – which is inspired by true events – focuses on Winston Churchill founding the first ever special forces organisation during World War II.
The movie features a really promising ensemble cast too: Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusamokun, Henrique Zaga, Til Schweiger, Henry Golding, and Cary Elwes will all appear and we’re really looking forward to seeing some of those actors have fun with Ritchie’s irreverent style.
As we heard all the way back in November 2022, Cavill will play ‘the leader of the secret combat organisation’, described as ‘a clandestine squad whose unconventional and entirely ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques against the Nazis helped change the course of the war and in part gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit’.
Interestingly, the film will be going up against Radio Silence's as-yet untitled horror film for Universal. The film by the directors behind the last two Scream movies also features the franchise’s star, Melissa Barrera, and is said to be focused ‘on a group of kidnappers who abduct a band of young people, one of whom ends up being Dracula’s daughter. Woe then befalls the kidnappers’.
Woe definitely isn’t befalling us though, as that pairing sounds like an excellent weekend at the cinema, assuming that we get the same release dates here in the UK. We’ll bring you more updates on The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare, including a trailer, as they arrive.
