It's a good day for those whose tastes learn towards espionage. With a new No Time To Dietrailer online, and our exclusiveA Call To Spyposter already up, news arrives that Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie are teaming up again for new spy pic Five Eyes.
Following their collaboration on films such as Snatch, Lock, Stock and Revolver, Ritchie will direct and Statham will star in the new one.
Five Eyes boasts the following pulpy logline: MI6 guns-and-steel agent Orson Fortune (Statham) is recruited by global intelligence alliance Five Eyes to track down and stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology that threatens to disrupt the world order. Reluctantly paired with CIA high-tech expert Sarah Fidel, Fortune sets off on a globe-trotting mission where he will have to use all of his charm, ingenuity and stealth to track down and infiltrate billionaire arms broker Greg Simmonds. You've got to love that character name for Statham.
Ritchie, working from a script he had a hand in alongside The Gentlemen's Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies, is aiming to kick off shooting next month in October.
The biggest question will be, can it offer anything as purely entertaining as the clip from Spy below?
