The blockbuster, formerly titled Five Eyes, will star Jason Statham as an MI6 agent who is recruited by a global intelligence alliance to stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology that “threatens to disrupt the world order.” To his reluctance, he is paired with a CIA high-tech expert and embarks on a globe-trotting adventure to infiltrate a billionaire arms broker and prevent the world from disrupting into chaos.
Ritchie directs and produces from a screenplay written by Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies – who he previously collaborated with on The Gentlemen – with financing and production from Miramax and STXfilms.
