Action icon Jason Statham will reunite with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Wrath of Man director Guy Ritchie for a crime thriller sort-of-sequel that’s been in the works for years. This will mark the pair’s sixth time working together following the likes of Snatch, Revolver, and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre.
The project bringing them back together has been in the works for years and will be based on the novel “Viva La Madness” by J.J. Connolly which acts as a sequel to “Layer Cake,” which itself was turned into an acclaimed crime thriller outing led by Daniel Craig back in 2004. However, while the movie, which is described by Variety as an action thriller, will be based on the follow-up, the report states that the adaptation “is being billed as a stand-alone, original feature and not a sequel, spin-off or continuation of any previous adaptation of Connolly’s work.”
