Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham are set to reteam for their sixth project together, the action thriller "Viva La Madness". Production is expected to begin in January 2026. Ritchie will write and direct. Statham is, so far, the only cast member attached to the project.
While the film's plot is being kept under wraps, it is based on the novel by J.J. Connolly which is also a sequel to the author's "Layer Cake". Originally published in 2011, "Viva La Madness" follows a mysterious London drug dealer known as X.
Although "Layer Cake" was previously adapted into a 2004 film directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring Daniel Craig, Ritchie's project has been described as a "a stand-alone, original feature and not a sequel, spin-off or continuation of any previous adaptation of Connolly's work".
"Viva La Madness" was initiated by Statham and Thomas Benski ("Gangs of London"), who are producing via Punch Palace Productions and Lumina Studios, alongside Toff Guy Films. Black Bear is also producing and handling international sales on the film, which it's launching at the upcoming American Film Market.
