Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Gentlemen’ to be made into a TV series

Theo James got the lead role

On Monday, filming began on the series based on the movie The Gentlemen in the UK. The television adaptation of Guy Ritchie’s acclaimed film will run for eight episodes. It is already known who will play the main roles in the project.

I need a final!

No, you need a sequel!

The ironic remark of the hero Hugh Grant at the end of the film was taken by many as a hint that The Gentlemen would definitely have a sequel. And two years after the release of the film, work on such a sequel began. True, there are subtleties here.

So far, instead of a movie, only a series is planned. And participation in it of the star team of the picture (Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell, Hugh Grant) is not provided. New characters appear in the script of the series, although the action will be largely connected with the criminal business of the hero Matthew McConaughey.

In the film, he played an American who, after studying in England, decided to stay in Albion in order to build a large-scale cannabis business. He places his farms on the estates of overspent aristocrats who are ready to shelter illegal production in exchange for mountains of cash.

The main character of the series will be the son of an aristocrat. For many years he was not in his parental estate and returned there only after receiving it as an inheritance. To his surprise, among the serene rural landscapes, a young man discovers a huge farm for the production of selected dope.

The main role in the series went to Theo James (“White Lotus”, “The Witcher”). Also participating in the project are Kaya Scodelario, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, Daniel Ings, and others.

The role of Guy Ritchie in the series is also significant. He co-wrote the pilot, will direct the first two episodes, and will serve as the show’s producer.
