Hugh Grant as a cunning cockney. Matthew McConaughey as an American weed dealer who discovers that crossing the British criminal class is not alright, alright, alright... These are just two of the highlights of the first trailer for The Gentlemen, which finds Guy Ritchie firmly back in gangster territory. Take a butcher's below.
McConaughey is American expat Mickey Pearson, who built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever, it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.
Alongside McConaughey and Grant are a quality cast including Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan and Colin Farrell, and it looks like Ritchie's truly found his groove again.
The Gentleman will scheme and shoot its way into UK cinemas on 1 January. Happy new gear!
