The upcoming action thriller “The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare” already had an impressive list of names attached to it including Guy Ritchie directing, Jerry Bruckheimer producing, with both former Superman actor Henry Cavill and “Ambulance” co-star Eiza Gonzalez in the lead roles.
Now the full cast list for the project has been announced and it’s only grown more stacked. Joining the project are two former Ritchie collaborators – “The Gentlemen” alum Henry Golding and “Operqtion Fortune” co-star Cary Elwes – along with “Reacher” leading man Alan Ritchson.
That’s not all though as more have hopped on board including Magic Mike’s Alex Pettyfer, The New Mutants’ Brazilian actor Henry Zaga, “After” and “Fear the Walking Dead” franchise alum Hero Fiennes Tiffin, veteran German actor Til Schweiger, and “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” doctor Babs Olusanmokun.
The true story tale covers UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s and James Bond author Ian Fleming’s secret WWII combat organization. The clandestine squad’s unconventional and ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques against the Nazis helped change the course of the war and gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit.
Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, Arash Amel and Ritchie adapted the book based on war correspondent and military historian Damien Lewis’ best-seller of the same name.
Chad Oman, Ivan Atkinson, and John Friedberg produce and shooting is slated to begin February 13th in Turkey.
