News on the new Guy Ritchie movie

Posted by Sylar On Thursday, June 28, 2007
Rapper Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and British actress Thandie Newton are among the ensemble cast of “RocknRolla,” a caper film written and directed by Madonna’s husband, Guy Ritchie.

Set in London’s crime underworld, the movie stars Gerard Butler (“300”) as a savvy mobster who has learned to play both sides of the fence, while Tom Wilkinson plays a veteran mob boss whose regime is quickly losing ground to foreign interlopers.

Newton is cast as the love interest of Butler’s character, while Luda stars as an American trying to make it big in the U.K. music scene.

Things get serious when a Russian mobster orchestrates a crooked land deal and suddenly millions of dollars are available for the taking. All of London’s criminal underworld players begin jockeying for a piece.

Ritchie, whose credits include "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," began production on “RocknRolla” last week in London, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
