Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla Trailer is Bitchin’

Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton in Rocknrolla

There are few directors in the world today who are as unique as Guy Ritchie. His films, everything from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells to Snatch, have all had a quality that is all their own, or at least a quality that is limited to his body of work. Well, his early body of work at least. For fans of Ritchie’s extasy-infused, high-octain beginnings have seen his talent spend on working the baby factory with his wife Madonna, as well as a throw-away film called Swept Away in 2002. To say the least, he has yet to really recover from the damage of the Madonna-headlined film.

That is, until now. In his upcoming film RocknRolla, Ritchie takes badass incarnate Gerard Butler and throws him into a whirlwind story about the intersection of London’s seedy underbelly and a Russian mobster’s shady land deal, all somehow interconnected with a gun-toting rock star. The film also stars Thandie Newton, Tom Wilkinson, Gemma Arterton and the always entertaining Jeremy Piven. As well, I am sure, as some other familiar faces.

To help us get all worked up for Ritchie’s return to form, or so we hope, Empire Online has released the first trailer for the film — and it looks like a lot of fun. Have a look for yourself by clicking here.

What do you think of the first trailer for RocknRolla?

  • Looking good. Gerard Butler and Tom Wilkinson make this a must see.
  • Wes
    Damn! I was so hoping for another Ritchie directed romcom starring Madonna.
  • Not bad. It looks like Lock, Stock and Snatch. But count me intrigued.

    However, the trailer could have been one-minute long and you could still get the whole idea of the film without giving too much away. That's what I hate about trailers nowadays.
  • I think Guy Ritchie is a one-trick pony. Lock Stock and Snatch (Americanized) are basically the same movie. RocknRolla looks like the same thing. I'm not hatin'...I like that one-trick so I'm going to see this. Anyone know if Revolver is good?
  • Man, I'm in need of another crime induced movie. This is it.
