Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González are set to play the lead in Guy Ritchie’s new action film. The film follows two extraction specialists who must plan an escape path for a high-level female negotiator.
This project is one of the biggest-budget projects on the market, and Black Bear International has already launched world sales. The script is penned by Ritchie, and he will produce alongside partner Ivan Atkinson and Black Bear International’s John Friedberg. The Black Bear International deal was negotiated by Jill Silfen. The filming will begin in Spain this summer.
Ritchie will reunite with Cavill, Gyllenhaal, and Gonzalez in the film following previous collaborations. The new project follows the April release of the critically acclaimed action thriller The Covenant, starring Gyllenhaal, while Ritchie has only recently concluded the stellar WWII epic The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which also stars Cavill and González. Cavill also collaborated with Guy Ritchie on The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
In a statement, 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.” He added, “This is going to be an action-packed movie that is both intellectually stimulating and physically exhilarating.“
