Recalling that Statham will bring protagonist Orson Fortune to life, an MI6 agent who is recruited by the Five Eyes global intelligence alliance to find and prevent the sale of deadly war technology that threatens to dismantle the world order.
Reluctantly working with CIA expert Sarah Fidel (Plaza), Fortune sets out on a mission across the world to find a billionaire and infiltrate his inner circle.
Ritchie is directing the production from a script signed by Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davis. Atkinson is also a producer alongside Bill Block.
STXfilms will be responsible for the global distribution of the feature film, launching the project for international buyers at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.
