Deadline
Henry Cavill & Eiza González To Lead Guy Ritchie WWII Action Spy Pic ‘The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ For Jerry Bruckheimer & Black Bear International — AFM Hot Pic
Sherlock Holmes and Aladdin filmmaker Ritchie will direct as his next film, with the project lining up a January start date in Turkey.
The movie, inspired by real events, will chart UK PM Winston Churchill’s and James Bond scribe Ian Fleming’s secret WWII combat organization. The clandestine squad’s unconventional and entirely ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques against the Nazis helped change the course of the war and in part gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit.
[… ] Black Bear is in active discussions regarding U.S. distribution and international deals. This will most likely be the biggest-budget project on sale at next week’s AFM.
Man Of Steel, Mission: Impossible – Fallout and The Witcher star Cavill will play the leader of the secret combat organization.
González, most recently seen in Michael Bay’s Ambulance, will play a military sniper with extraordinary spy-craft abilities.
There will be a bevvy of colorful characters, we hear, in a project which seems to have echoes of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. However, Ritchie and Bruckheimer are conceiving this one as a franchise.
The script, by Ritchie and Arash Amel (Rise), is based on war correspondent and military historian Damien Lewis’ popular book of the same name.
In the wake of Top Gun: Maverick, the year’s biggest film to date, super-producer Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) will produce, alongside Chad Oman for Bruckheimer Films. Also producing are Ritchie’s producing partner Ivan Atkinson, and Black Bear International’s John Friedberg.

In real life, Marjorie married Henry’s character, Gus March-Phillipps, after this operation. I know you had parallel stories in the movie, but were you and Henry, in your few scenes, able to plant that seed with a wink or a nod?
It’s so funny that you say that. We went through a couple of ideas at one point, and Guy wanted specific things. So we went back and forth on maybe adding some scenes, but then I just felt that the way that they wrapped the film is way stronger. It’s not feeding into any love story, and not that it’s not important, but it’s more about honoring their individuality as spies and what they accomplished. And then it just so happened that they got together afterwards. So we thought of a couple of ideas, but it ultimately felt way stronger with where it landed than digging into the romantic side. As a woman, you read a lot of these roles where you are an add-on to the male counterpart or a love interest or in a love situation, but it’s been a minute since I’ve played those roles. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with those roles, but it’s exciting that you can honor certain individual women for their own personal capacities, separate from their personal relationships.

Collider is delighted to be partnering with Lionsgate to bring our readers this exclusive featurette for their new film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, as three of its cast, Henry Cavill, Henry Golding and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin teach you, the discerning reader of Collider.com, how to behave like a proper gentleman even in the face of combat. The clip, which is interspersed with scenes from the movie, will educate you on how to keep your cool in a hot spot.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was an unofficial name given to a secretive division of the British government during World War II. Officially known as the Special Operations Executive (SOE), it was established in 1940 by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Minister of Economic Warfare Hugh Dalton to conduct warfare by means other than direct military engagement. The purpose of the SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in occupied Europe (and later, in other parts of the world), supporting local resistance movements and helping to undermine the Axis powers from within.
The SOE was famous for its unconventional tactics, which Churchill referred to when he instructed the organization to "set Europe ablaze." Its agents, including both men and women drawn from various nationalities, were trained in a variety of espionage and guerrilla warfare techniques. This included everything from demolitions to foreign languages, and operations often involved collaborating closely with resistance fighters in countries under Nazi occupation.
The name "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" captures the essence of their mission: it was about fighting the enemy using methods that were not traditionally used in war, employing surprise and secrecy over conventional military force. The activities and operations of the SOE were among the most daring and innovative of the war, and they played a significant role in several key victories for the Allies.
https://collider.com/the-ministry-of-ungentlemanly-warfare-cast-sneak-peek/
In Ritchie’s highly fictionalized take on Operation Postmaster, Cavill’s Gus March-Phillipps is called upon by the British government in Winston Churchill (Rory Kinnear) and Brigadier Gubbins (Cary Elwes) to bring together a team who then sail to the Spanish island of Fernando Po. The goal: to sink a Nazi ship with a crucial load of supplies and ammunition.
What was Operation Postmaster?
If you remove Ritchie’s rejiggering of Operation Postmaster, here’s what you get: The operation, only recently declassified, was initiated by the British War Office and carried out by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), tasked with handling espionage activities. The team that took on the operation was indeed led by Major Gustavus March-Phillipps, with Geoffrey Appleyard (played by Pettyfer) as second in command. But unlike in the film, they were already active as the No. 62 Commando Unit, or Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF).
The formation of these commandos was ordered by Winston Churchill in June, 1940, following the Dunkirk evacuation (another piece of World War II history you undoubtedly know about from a certain other movie). Churchill wanted a “hunter class” of troops that would strike a “reign of terror” on German-occupied coasts, per the UK’s National Army Museum.
The No. 62 unit was a selective group of 55 men (only a few of whom are featured in Ritchie’s movie). The operation on Fernando Po took place in January 1942, about three years before Nazi Germany surrendered in the war.
How did the "ungentlemanly warfare" in the actual operation go down?
Well, not quite as cinematically as in Ritchie’s version. The aim was not to blow up one boat. Instead, it was to steal three boats and sail them far, far away from Nazi hands. The UK government didn’t approve the Fernando Po operation at first, owing to the fact that Spain was neutral. But the covert nature of No. 62 gave them just the right amount of distance for Churchill to back the raid.
Based on a tip that the Nazi soldiers on the island loved to party, the British managed to create a diversion, hosting two parties for the Nazi officers and soldiers as well as harbor crew. But the blood splatter was not significant. In fact, No. 62 reportedly met with almost no resistance once they boarded the ships (owing to all those unsuspecting Nazis busy getting their food and drink on). The British agents did have to destroy the anchor chains, not the ships, in order to remove them.
Finally, No. 62 sailed the Nazi load to Lagos, Nigeria. The ships were retrieved by British naval forces, who made a show of taking over the ships since it wasn’t an officially approved mission. But Churchill scored the key success he sought all the same.
So exactly how true is the movie?
Well, the proper historical outline is there. “The story itself and the elements are true,” Arash Amel, one of the Ungentlemanly Warfare screenwriters, told the Los Angeles Times.
But characters get combined and recreated, and are brought to life with a lot more gruesomeness than in the historical record. Some suspenseful turns (like Cavill’s imprisonment), too, were made up. And then there are the perfectly cheeky lines that the Brits probably couldn’t immediately come up with in the moment. Hey, that’s what Ritchie is here for.

GR has a weird release deal for his films. But it seems to be working, because he keeps doing it.
If they go directly to streaming, they won’t make any money and they won’t help theaters either. So maybe the idea is to support theaters?
