Overview
- Ritchie will write and direct, with Statham the only confirmed cast member and also producing.
- Production is scheduled to start in January 2026, marking the pair’s sixth feature collaboration.
- The film draws from Connolly’s 2011 follow-up to Layer Cake but is not a sequel or continuation of earlier screen adaptations.
- Jason Statham and Thomas Benski initiated the project, with production by Punch Palace, Lumina Studios, Toff Guy Films, and Black Bear.
- Black Bear will launch international sales at the American Film Market, and a U.S. distributor has not been announced, though industry reports suggest Black Bear could be a candidate.
