British actor Henry Cavill has wrapped filming on the World War II action spy movie "The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare".
Cavill announced Monday the news on Instagram, saying: "That's a wrap! My days on Ungentlemanly Warfare are over. Tis a sad day. I'm going to echo the sentiments of my co-stars and sing the praises of our intrepid crew,".
He added: "It's rare to come across a team so driven, dedicated, and committed to the storytelling. That drive and dedication is only intensified by having a leader such as Guy Ritchie. His ability to weave story and create character might be second to none, and he wields it like it were magic,"
"Those ingredients - skill, drive, and exceptional talent at the top, are only three of the ingredients needed for an experience that will last forever in memory. The fourth is happiness. Guy creates happiness on his set, it's a joyful place to be, full of laughter and japes and jests. The crew and cast's approach and personality is key in this. Everyone, without fail, was able to enjoy themselves while also working hard and being exceptional,".
The post included new footage of the film and some behind-the-scenes banter between Cavill and Ritchie.
The movie, inspired by real events, will depict UK PM Winston Churchill’s and James Bond scribe Ian Fleming’s secret WWII combat organization. The clandestine squad’s unconventional and entirely ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques against the Nazis helped change the course of the war as well as gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit.
The project was initially in development at Paramount through Jerry Bruckheimer’s first look deal, but the studio will not be distributing the movie.
The cast will also star Alex Pettyfer, Henry Golding, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, and Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Cavill also thanked Pettyfer, Golding, Tiffin, and Ritchson in his post.
Cavill is portraying the leader of the secret combat organization while "Baby Driver" star Eiza González is set to play a military sniper with extraordinary spy-craft abilities.
The movie is scripted by Ritchie and Arash Amel and is based on war correspondent and military historian Damien Lewis’ popular book of the same name.
Bruckheimer will produce alongside Chad Oman for Bruckheimer Films as well as Ritchie’s producing partner Ivan Atkinson, and Black Bear International’s John Friedberg.
The project began shooting in Turkey in February, but it is unclear if the movie has wrapped production or just Cavill. However, he is not the only one to bid farewell to the shoot recently, as Ritchson recently shared a post on the platform announcing that he had wrapped on the movie.
"That’s a wrap on Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Most Incredible work experience of my life. There is nothing to compare the creative experience of working with [Guy Ritchie]. Incredible filmmaker, even better man. [Henry Cavill] is a stellar leader on set, unparalleled work ethic, “Top man” as the Brits would say 😁 10/10 would jump into a film with him again," Ritchson wrote.
"The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" reunites Cavill with Ritchie after they worked together on 2015's "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."
Lionsgate has secured the movie's domestic distribution rights and is planning for a theatrical release sometime in 2024.
