Jason Isaacs (White Lotus, Harry Potter), Camila Mendes (Riverdale, Palm Springs), and Vinnie Jones (Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) have joined the cast of "Viva La Madness," Black Bear's new action-thriller film from Guy Ritchie.
The cast is led by Jason Statham and also stars Babs Olusanmokun (Dune, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), Ben Foster (Motor City, Hell or High Water), and Jonny Lee Miller (The Crown, Elementary).
It also features Raúl Alejandro making his feature film debut.
The project is underway in London and marks another collaboration between Ritchie and Jones, Olusanmokun, and Miller.
"Viva La Madness" is based on the novel of the same name by JJ Connolly, who co-wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation with Ritchie. Details regarding what the film will be about are under wraps.
“Viva La Madness” is a sequel to Connolly’s debut novel, “Layer Cake”, however, the production is a stand-alone original film, not a continuation of any previous work.
“Layer Cake” was previously adapted for the big screen in 2004 by the British novelist, and was directed by Matthew Vaughn in his debut.
"Viva La Madness" was developed by Statham for Punch Palace Productions and Thomas Benski for Lumina Studios, who are producing alongside Ritchie and Ivan Atkinson for Toff Guy Films and John Friedberg for Black Bear.
Black Bear will distribute the film domestically, while Amazon MGM Studios will distribute it in the majority of international territories.
"Viva La Madness" is Black Bear’s latest collaboration with Ritchie and Statham.
