With Henry Cavill and Eiza González already aboard for his next film, The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Guy Ritchie has recruited the rest of the cast he needs for the World War II film. Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, Henrique Zaga, Alex Pettyfer, Cary Elwes, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusanmokun and Til Schweiger are all reporting for duty.
Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson pitched the original script, which is based on war correspondent and military historian Giles Milton’s eponymous best-seller. The true story covers UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s and Ian Fleming’s secret World War II 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.
Ritchie will start cranking the cameras on the film in two weeks in Turkey.
