Lock Stock kicked ass, and Revolver honestly wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t what most people were expecting. The thing about Rocknrolla that kinda bugs me is that it looks like Lock Stock but with a different prize and a different cast, but the same story. Hopefully the story plays out differently than previous Guy Richie films. The trailer and poster however point to goodness.

The Cast looks fantastic, the crime is intriguing and I have to say, most of Guy’s work isn’t too bad. Snatch, Lock Stock and Revolver were amazing. I am wicked psyched to see it for all these reasons and the crazy ass camera affect that locks onto the faces… The typography and overall use of text in the trailer are pretty tight to creating a gritty hard and yet almost video gamey surrealism. I think its going to be wicked.
…Thandie Newton is wicked yummy as well.

I’m probably the only person in the galaxy who thinks that Revolover is Richie’s best film :D

Not that it’s perfect - it’s Guy’s flawed masterpiece. But you can see he’s pushing himself and his craft, and the result is absolutely fascinating.

I get the feeling Guy can do this cor blimey stuff with his eyes closed. But it was Revolover that really had him pushing his craft. Perhaps even a little too far.

I’m sure this new film will be thoroughly entertaining, and I I’m sure he’s making this to slip back into his old money making niche. Kinda like Tarantino did after Jackie Brown.

looks badass. I’ll take plenty more of these stories as long as the stories are good. Those titles are sweet.

what’s wrong with a one trick pony if the one trick absolutely kicks ass?

What a f*ckin hack… this guy is makin snatch all over again….. One Trick Pony… God does this guy frustrate me….. going to the well with the Rappers again.. Ludacris is just that… Same graphic style in the trailers..

He reminds of musicians who make a hit and keep trying to recreate it (ie Rob Zombie)… it’s what I sarcastically refer to as a “well developed style”

It’s like he tried to take a bunch of little scenes from his other sh*t movies and make them relevant in this one… Revolver sucked.. you could see it comin a mile away…and once and for all … lock, stock was feces too.

Snatch was this guys only decent flick and that’s cuz the actors saved his ass… and dont tell me it’s cuz of his direction, cuz he couldn’t direct Andre 3000 through traffic… let alone a movie scene…

Gah… go bang on Madonna and leave the film world alone.

Before Guy Richie.. Madonna looked like a woman. Now she looks like a tranny madonna impersonator.
Perhaps Guy has some issue’s to deal with before he makes another film.

@Ohiofile

I know exactly what you mean…plus if you were Ritchie where he was before he met Madonna wouldn’t you be trying to hookup/marry someone a lot younger and actually good looking??…lol…if marrying someone was going to almost destroy my career I’d want a cranky supermodel or actress not a has been 80’s pop star I guess Cyndi Lauper was taken…

interesting thought - before Madonna, Guy Richie makes Lock Stock and Snatch. After Madonna, he makes this. During Madonna we get crap like Swept Away and Revolver and him dropping out of Layer Cake. Young directors, watch out for whatever overbearing queen B pop star you want to marry. They might cut your balls off. But judging from this, you can get them back.

I think it does Ritchie a disservice to completely discount Revolver when considering his recent films. It didn’t hit the mark, but that was because the two lead actors couldn’t carry the ending, not because it wasn’t a visionary and very well directed film. It hurts me to think that he stepped out and made such a great piece only to have it constantly shit on or completely ignored. If you’ve not seen it, do yourself a favour and do…..the car accident scene is worth ten rewinds.

I was hoping revolver would be Ritchie’s return to form but I was sorely disappointed. One can only hope that this turns out well.

Toby wasn’t in Stoned and The Backwoods (which I thought was Wilderness) I got him mixed up with actor Paddy Considine who looks similar…anyways he was excellent in Control

Toby Kebbell was great in Control, Stoned and in Wilderness (basically a remake of Straw Dogs)…It’s nice to see him in a large commercial film like this he’ll deliver the goods and steal scenes.

He was also in Control as Joy Division’s manager wasn’t he?

Looks great, but definitely seems like he’s painting with the same colours as his old days, (painting pun intended).
