RocknRolla Mr. Ritchie!

There’s news of Guy Ritchie to report at long last.

Sure, I could have told you about Madonna’s husband’s sexy new cropped haircut, but that would’ve been beyond silly of me. And by the way, the only reason I just referred to him as “Madonna’s husband” is I understand there might be like, five or seven jacks out there who might not know who Ritchie is – so that one’s for you.

Anyway, Variety had the following item on the coming-back director today:

“Guy Ritchie is set to direct a movie adaptation of his Virgin Comics miniseries The Gamekeeper for Warner Bros., with Joel Silver producing. Ritchie developed the concept, but Andy Diggle writes the comic, which launched a limited 10-issue run in March.

“The story centers on a reclusive caretaker of a Scottish estate who is supernaturally in-tune with the behavior of all animal species. When the alleged killer of his son surfaces, the caretaker finds that Europe’s urban jungle is not that different from the natural surroundings he’s accustomed to.”

Sounds like a cult fave in the making.

Ritchie currently is shooting RocknRolla, starring Gerard Butler, Ludacris, Thandie Newton, and Tom Wilkinson.

The film opens next year, and I cannot wait.
