Our own Editor-in-Chief Paul Shirey is currently attending CinemaCon in Las Vegas and STX Entertainment got the convention started with a presentation which included first looks at Guy Ritchie's THE GENTLEMEN, Chadwick Boseman's 21 BRIDGES, Dave Bautista's MY SPY, the sequel to THE BOY, a live performance of Kelly Clarkson's single "Broken and Beautiful" from UGLYDOLLS, and more. Take it away, Paul!
Much like Paul, I'm pumped at the thought of Guy Ritchie making a return to the style and tone of LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and SNATCH, and THE GENTLEMEN (formally known as both TOFF GUYS and BUSH) sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, and Michelle Dockery, the film follows a very British drug lord who tries to sell off his highly profitable marijuana empire to a dynasty of Oklahoma billionaires. Before this return to classic-Ritchie, the director's next film is Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of ALADDIN which will hit theaters on May 24, 2019.
The Warner Bros. presentation will kick off at 4:00pm PST, so we'll be sure to keep you apprised of any major reveals!
