Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie are reuniting for a brand new action movie.

What movie are Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie making?

According to a new report from Variety, Statham and Ritchie are teaming up for the upcoming action-thriller Viva La Madness. The film, which is being kept mostly mysterious as of now, is said to be based on J.J. Connolly’s 2011 novel of the same name, which is a sequel to his 2004 novel, Layer Cake, which was also adapted into a film directed by Matthew Vaughn.

Viva La Madness follows the story of a London drug dealer known as X, and chronicles his adventures throughout his life that include “sex, scams, narcotics and dirty money,” according to a description of the novel.

Variety’s report notes that the film is being billed as a standalone project and will not feature any spin-offs or other adaptations of Connolly’s work. Other cast members for the film remain unknown as of now, with Ritchie set to write and direct the project. Statham will produce the film alongside Thomas Benski, with production reported to be starting in January.

For Statham and Ritchie, it’ll be the duo’s sixth movie together. Previously, Statham has starred in a number of Ritchie’s most successful films, including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and Revolver.
