The first trailer for Guy Ritchie’s newest film Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre has been released. This comedic spy thriller stars Jason Statham as Orson Fortune a super spy trying to halt the sale of weapons technology by the rich arms dealer Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre also stars Aubrey Plaza, Josh Hartnett, Cary Elwes, and Bugzy Malone.
Ritchie is reuniting with his frequent collaborator Statham, who also recently starred in Ritchie’s Wrath of Man released earlier this year. Ritchie’s latest looks to be a light-hearted spy film, akin to Ritchie’s 2015 film The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
In the first trailer, we see Statham’s Fortune working with a team that includes Plaza, Elwes, and Malone, and tricking an actor, played by Hartnett, to get in close with Grant’s arms dealer. While there is plenty of action, chases and shooting, there’s also plenty of humor, especially from Statham and Plaza, but also from the fish-out-of-water performance by Hartnett.
