The first trailer for The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare is now available. The new film from acclaimed director Guy Ritchie, which delves into the action/comedy genre during a specific period in world history. In the film, Henry Cavill takes on the lead role, playing a leader of a secret British group dedicated to fighting Nazis during World War II. The film, scheduled for theatrical release in April, promises an explosive mix of humor, adrenaline and a refreshing historical perspective.

The others acotres are Eiza Gonzalez, Alan Ritchson and Alex Pettyfer. The feature film, based on Damien Lewis' book of the same name and written by Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, Arash Amel and Ritchie himself, and Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, Ivan Atkinson and John Friedberg are the producers. Also financed by Black Bear and distributed by Lionsgate, the film is shaping up to be a riveting tale of espionage and bravery.

The plot takes inspiration from the formation of a clandestine unit by order of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, which included Ian Fleming (author of the James Bond series of novels). The purpose of this team was to employ unconventional and ungentlemanly combat techniques against the Nazis, an approach that would significantly influence the outcome of the war and give rise to modern Black Ops units. This historical context serves as the backdrop to tell the story of action and strategy under the lens of Guy Ritchie.

The project was initiated by Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, who sold it as a pitch to Bruckheimer and Paramount in 2015. With a script based on the book by Damien Lewis, the film has navigated a long road before its release. Also, Black Bear handled financing, with Lionsgate in charge of theatrical distribution internationally.
