Lionsgate have released the first trailer for Guy Ritchie’s WWII action-comedy The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Inspired by the British War Department’s recently declassified documents which told of a secret group of military officials formed by the late Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Henry Cavill stars as Gus March-Phillips who assembles his own team and leads them on an underground mission. Author of the James Bond novels Ian Fleming was also a member of the group.
Here’s the official synopsis for the film, “Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organisation formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming. The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.”
Alongside Cavill the cast also includes Eiza González as a military sniper with ‘extraordinary spy-craft abilities’, Alan Ritchson, Freddie Fox, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Henry Golding and Cary Elwes.
Directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, Arash Amel and Ritchie. With inspiration from Damien Lewis’ 2014 book The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops.
The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare will be released April 19.
