Fans of Henry Cavill and Eiza Gonzalez are in for a treat as the two actors have come together for the upcoming World War II movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, directed by Guy Ritchie. With principal photography starting today in Turkey, Lionsgate is targeting a 2024 wide theatrical release.
Filming begins on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a highly anticipated movie that is expected to deliver original, action-packed, and entertaining experiences to audiences. The film charts the true story of a secret WWII combat organization formed by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and James Bond scribe, Ian Fleming.
The clandestine squad’s unconventional and entirely “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques against the Nazis helped changed the course of the war and gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit.
The movie has caught the attention of major players in the entertainment industry. Lionsgate has acquired the movie’s domestic distribution rights, while Prime Video has secured a significant pre-purchase of the film’s international rights, estimated to be worth eight figures. Prime Video will distribute the movie across Europe, Latin America, ANZ, Canada, South Africa, India, and pan-Asian PayTV.
The movie, written by Tamasy, Johnson, Amel, and Ritchie, is based on Damien Lewis’ book. Tamasy and Johnson sold the pitch to Jerry Bruckheimer and Paramount in 2015. Bruckheimer is producing with Oman, Atkinson, and Friedberg for Black Bear Int.
Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer said in an interview-
“Ministry is precisely what cinemas need right now — larger-than-life entertainment with incredible talent on both sides of the camera and an unbelievable true story,”
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is being directed by Guy Ritchie and is set to deliver an action-packed and entertaining experience to audiences.
