Guy Ritchie is rounding up quite a cast for his next feature ‘Toff Guys’. The newest name added to the impressive cast list comes in the form of Widows’ Colin Farrell.
Farrell joins Matthew McConaughey, Henry Golding, Hugh Grant, Jeremy Strong and Michelle Dockery on the cast.
Ritchie’s film will focus on the collision of old-money, European wealth and the modern marijuana industrial complex. It follows a British drug lord attempting to cash out on his highly profitable empire by selling it off to a dynasty of Oklahoma billionaires. McConaughey will play the role of an ultimate “inside outsider”. Details for Beckinsale and Golding’s characters are yet to be revealed.
