Lionsgate strikes a lucrative deal with Guy Ritchie over his upcoming project featuring Henry Cavill, to create another John Wick-like franchise.
There’s no denying that modern audiences crave action-packed movies, which eventually turn franchises like Keanu Reeves’ John Wick into major blockbusters. Therefore, after offering audiences his modern take on the literary work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, acclaimed filmmaker Guy Ritchie is currently focused on an action flick featuring Henry Cavill.
Following the success of Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr., Guy Ritchie is producing his upcoming movie alongside Ivan Atkinson and John Friedberg, with whom he worked on The Covenant. But, as per Deadline, movie studio Lionsgate seems to have made a lucrative deal with the director about his film, way ahead of its production and release.
