Speaking at the world premiere of his new movie “RocknRolla” on Monday in London Ritchie said:

“RocknRolla” Is Very English!
“RocknRolla,” Guy Ritchie‘s new movie is searching for a new distributor.
The producer of Guy Ritchie’s upcoming gangster film “RocknRolla” Joel Silver has been screening the movie for rival studios Lionsgate and Sony in the hope that they will take it away from Warner Bros., according to the Los Angeles Times.
Alan Horn, chief operating officer of Warner Bros, said that he would honour a small-scale release agreement for “RocknRolla,” even though he doubted its commercial appeal.
Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes – Confirmed
Robert Downey Jr. is set to star as the main character in Sherlock Holmes.
The film’s storyline is inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle‘s novels and also the “Sherlock Holmes” comics, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Guy Ritchie will direct this Sherlock version for Warner Bros.
The concept sees Holmes as more adventurous and less stuffy than previous screen incarnations and mines more obscure character traits.
Ritchie’s Holmes will begin shooting in October and will have to contend with Columbia’s Sherlock Holmes, a comedy version set to star Sacha Baron Cohen as Holmes and Will Ferrell as Dr. Watson. Judd Apatow is producing the comedy.
Of course, Ritchie’s version will be more serious as they intend to draw from both the literary and comic versions of Holmes
Roger Donaldson’s ‘Bank Job’ World Premiere
At the World Premiere in Leicester Square on Monday night, Donaldson explained how the true-life story in which the culprits (and the cash) were never found, manages to remain faithful to real events.
“How real to life is this? Well, I tried to make it as realistic as possible. We did a lot of research to make sure everything looked like the Seventies. We put a lot of effort in trying to make everything look genuine.”
The Bank Job features a veritable cavalcade of Brit faces (including the likes of David Suchet, Daniel Mays, Saffron Burrows and Craig Fairbrass) and Donaldson was more than happy with the final roster.
