Ritchie has a go-to genre, leaning toward crime, but he does make some surprise pivots here and there. The story revolves around a security guard (Statham) of an armored truck, who startles his colleagues when breaking out some serious combat skills. Ritchie brings his A game once again, with the flick packed with riveting action.

SNATCH (2000) – Illegal boxing promoter Turkish (Jason Statham) convinces gangster Brick Top (Alan Ford) to offer bets on bare-knuckle boxer Mickey (Brad Pitt) at his bookie business. Revisiting some of his characters from Snatch two decades later wouldn’t be shocking as Danny Boyle did something similar with T2 Trainspotting. His renewed working relationship with Jason Statham could lead to the actor pushing Ritchie to eventually make this hypothetical sequel eventually.

You might remember that when he originally made RocknRolla back in 2008, there had been a plan to make it a trilogy but due to the film’s poor reception that never came together.Īfter a stint making successful event films like Disney’s Aladdin he’s returned to the smaller action comedy genre with The Gentlemen (now developing into a series for Miramax), he’s also reunited with Jason Statham for the upcoming films Wrath of Man, a thriller about an armored truck, and the spy flick Five Eyes co-starring Aubrey Plaza. Snatch is arguably one of Ritchie’s standout films and it isn’t surprising he would chat-up potential sequels. “If I sat down and thought about it now for 15 minutes…Brad Pitt became Tyson Fury… it wouldn’t take me too long to piece together where all those characters are now, ” says Ritchie. He teased it wouldn’t take long for him to figure out where the characters could be at the moment. He continues to mention he would have made a trilogy of films, “But if I was in that position now, knowing what I know now, I probably would have made three of those.” But I’m so distracted by other things in my life at that time that I just, I didn’t know what was up and what was down,” Guy Ritchie states at the tail-end of his retrospective. “One of the things I do lament is I feel as though I sort of wish that I’d made a follow-up to Snatch. He gives the impression he would have been keen to make sequels and even suggests he would know where the characters are if he were to make a sequel today. It’s something I completely slept on, as the director detailed the making of the film and shared behind-the-scenes footage. Back in late August, writer/director Guy Ritchie posted an interesting retrospective for the 20th anniversary of his second feature film Snatch on his official Instagram account.
