Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham will make a Guy Ritchie-Jason Statham Netflix movie

With the U.K. production of Dogfight not expected to start until early next year, details are scarce. However, THR notes the film will be “a stylish revenge actioner set in the London criminal underworld,” just in case anyone was wondering whether Ritchie and Statham might try out some new genre just to shake things up, like a fantasy musical or perhaps a costume drama in which Statham plays a butler haunted by regret and burdened by his longing for the head chambermaid. Clearly, it’s the familiarity of the work that keeps Statham and Ritchie coming back to each other, though perhaps Ritchie might do his leading man a solid and write him some fresh rapid-fire patter reminiscent of their first scene together (in 1998’s Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels), instead of going for that stoic badass thing Statham’s been doing for a while now. Just for old times’ sake?
