Guy Ritchie’s film Ministry of Gentleman’s Affairs is set to hit Russian cinemas on April 25, a detail confirmed by Kinopoisk’s press service to socialbites.ca. The project adapts the narrative from Damien Lewis’s book The Ungentlemanly War Ministry: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe on Fire and Created Modern Shadow Operations. Filming took place across Türkiye and England, bringing a blend of espionage atmosphere and wartime intrigue to the screen.
The action unfolds in 1939 when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill assembles a covert unit dedicated to sabotage behind enemy lines. This backdrop frames a story about daring operations, hidden networks, and the strategic mindset required to undermine enemy capabilities from within by forces operating in the shadows.
Leading the cast are Henry Cavill, Eiza Gonzalez, Alan Ritchson, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Alex Pettyfer, Henry Golding, Babs Olusanmokun, and Til Schweiger. Their performances are poised to bring a mix of grit, swagger, and disciplined intensity to a chapter of history that remains highly debated in popular culture.
In January a teaser for Guy Ritchie’s upcoming series The Gentlemen was released. The creator steps back into the world of crime and London’s Underworld, portraying Ray Winstone in a series drawn from the 2019 film of the same name. The storyline follows Bobby Glass, a seasoned criminal who built a substantial marijuana empire in the city, and the series is scheduled to debut in March.
The project also features a robust ensemble cast including Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, Chanel Cresswell, Michael Wu, Max Beasley, Jasmine Blackborow, Harry Goodwins, Dar Salim, Piers Quigley, Ruby Cyr, and Peter Serafinowicz, contributing to a diverse array of characters and plotlines that enrich the cinematic universe surrounding the main events.
Earlier reports noted the public interest in a fresh release from this franchise and highlighted viewer reception to recent installments, including reactions to the new adaptation of classic literary themes and the enduring appeal of espionage tales in modern cinema.
