Guy Ritchie’s latest movie, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, was meant to premier in January but The Londoner has been told the release was scrapped because it features “Ukrainian baddies”. That’s according to actor Peter Ferdinando, who stars in the film alongside Jason Statham and Hugh Grant.
The production, about a globe-trotting mission to save the world from annihilation from international arms dealers, was filmed on location in Turkey last year. The cast, which also features Josh Hartnett, were set for a major publicity tour at the start of the year but the Londoner is told producers thought it in bad taste to air a movie that calls Ukrainians war mongering outlaws. Perhaps they should rename it ‘Operation MISfortune’.
