Overview
- Based on J. J. Connolly’s 2011 follow-up to Layer Cake, the film is being positioned as an original stand-alone rather than a direct sequel.
- Guy Ritchie will write and direct, and Jason Statham is the only confirmed cast member at this stage.
- Black Bear is producing and handling international sales, with the market debut planned for the American Film Market.
- The project was initiated by Statham and producer Thomas Benski and is being produced via Punch Palace Productions, Lumina Studios and Toff Guy Films.
- Viva La Madness marks the sixth feature collaboration between Ritchie and Statham, and plot details are under wraps beyond the source novel’s London underworld setting.
