He made another movie that same year. But more importantly, Aladdin marked a major stylistic evolution for the famously flashy filmmaker: he got really into clothes.

Guy Ritchie serves up a meaty thriller-comedy series on Netflix with ‘The Gentlemen’ | Hollywood

NEW YORK (AP) — When we first meet the hero of Guy Ritchie’s new Netflix series, he’s not exactly what you’d expect from a Guy Ritchie hero. He’s a peacekeeper for the United Nations, under orders to de-escalate tensions. Can that really last, this being a Guy Ritchie series? Doubtful. HT Image “The Gentlemen,” a captivating mix of menacing thriller, satire, soap opera, gangster caper and absurdist humor, will eventually have blood splashing on walls, but it delights in the promise of violence more than the acts themselves. Hindustan Times – your fastest source for breaking news! Read now. “Like ‘Jaws,’” says cast member Max Beesley. “You don’t see that shark for an hour and a quarter of the film.
