Henry Cavill reunites with his The Man From U.N.C.L.E. director Guy Ritchie for Lionsgate’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, an action comedy inspired by real events. The two-minute trailer finds Henry Cavill’s character being asked to lead the first special forces mission in history to neutralize German U-boats.
In addition to Cavil (The Witcher), the ensemble includes Eiza González (Baby Driver), Alan Ritchson (Reacher), Alex Pettyfer (In Time), Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After), Babs Olusamokun (Dune), Henrique Zaga (Beyond the Universe), Til Schweiger (Inglourious Basterds), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) and Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride).
“Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming,” reads Lionsgate’s synopsis. “The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.”
Guy Ritchie directs and co-wrote the screenplay with Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, and Arash Amel. Based on the book The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops by Damien Lewis, the action-comedy/drama is produced by Ritchie, Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, Ivan Atkinson, and John Friedberg.
Lionsgate’s trailer premiere was accompanied by new photos from the film. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare opens in theaters on April 19, 2024.
