Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels director Guy Ritchie is reportedly planning a return to the genre that launched his career.

Variety reports that the movie has started shooting on location in London and on the Isle Of Man and will reportedly focus on substantial action sequences. The film, produced by Marty... Read more
This Sporting Life: What Happens When Sports Heroes Act Up? Eric Cantona and Ken Loach. These are not names you would immediately put together.

His dad had worked in advertising – Alan Parker and David Puttnam had been there or... Read more

Empire magazine asserts that Downey would be "fantastic" in the role of Arthur Conan Doyle's mystery solver, stating that he has starred in a wide variety of film genres and despite his American roots has already proved that he can nail an English accent in Chaplin and Restoration. Directed by Guy Ritchie, known for the popular movies Lock Stock and Two Smoking... Read more
