Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal & Eiza González To Reunite With Guy Ritchie For His Next Movie; Black Bear International To Heat Up Cannes Market With The Action Pic
EXCLUSIVE: Amid simmering unease over the impact of the writers’ strike, the upcoming Cannes market is getting a shot in the arm with the arrival of Guy Ritchie’s next project, a big-budget untitled action movie which will star Henry Cavill (Man Of Steel), Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Spider-Man: Far From Home) and Eiza González (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw).
Plot details and title are being kept (largely) under wraps but we hear the story, which is said to be laced with Ritchie’s trademark humor, will revolve around two extraction specialists who must plan an escape path for a high-level female negotiator. This will be one of — if not the — biggest-budget projects at the market with Black Bear International launching world sales today.
The movie will see Ritchie re-teaming with Cavill, Gyllenhaal and Gonzalez after recent collaborations. The new project comes hot on the heels of April’s U.S. release of critically well-received action film The Covenant, starring Gyllenhaal, and Ritchie has only just wrapped starry WWII movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare with Cavill and González among cast. Cavill also teamed with Sherlock Holmes and Aladdin director Ritchie on The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
The new project is due to begin filming in Spain this summer. Ritchie wrote the original screenplay, and will also produce alongside partner Ivan Atkinson, and Black Bear International’s John Friedberg, who also produced Ritchie’s last two movies. Jill Silfen negotiated the deal on behalf of Black Bear International.
Ritchie said: “There’s something special that happens when you collaborate with the same partners regularly: you build a shorthand and a trust that lets everybody do their best work. Jake, Henry and Eiza are all astonishingly talented, committed, and engaging actors. This is going to be an action-packed movie that is both intellectually stimulating and physically exhilarating.”
HC, Jake Gyllenhaal & Eiza González. Good looks overload.
Since everybody is a GR repeat, where’s Jason Statham? Not pretty enough? JS’ hotness is in his cool fighting skills. I guess nobody needs to get dropkicked in this.

GR is aware of the online nepotism and favoritism talk, because he came right out of the gate with an explanation.

Back in the days, you had to sleep with the director (etc.) for a role. Nowadays, you must be family, a friend or a friend of a friend of the director (etc.) to get a role. I guess you can call this progress. I mean… you get to keep your clothes on. People in the film industry should take progress in whatever shape or form it comes.

I can’t wait to see HC and Jake in one film. But I agree that GR shouldn’t put these 3 musketeers in all his films. One repeat and the rest new.
He might be able to get away with it. He’s not the (co-)CEO of a studio, his film isn’t part of a mega franchise (Marvel) that overshadows everything else and he doesn’t have films with the same actors in two mega rival franchises (Marvel/DC).

Good looks overload only if they’re clean-shaven or have the five-o'clock shadow to give them the hot bad boy look.

The strike doesn’t count for Brits. House Of The Dragon must be completely Brits, because it seems to be the only thing filming.

But what if the strike continues? American actors and actresses can't work.
