Guy Ritchie Talked About 'Snatch,' 'Sherlock Holmes' and Why He Still Likes 'Swept Away'

On Friday, The English filmmaker known for his crime filmsGuy Ritchie, came back in well-tailored stylish suit with his '60s-set spy caper, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (a mysterious criminal organization plans to use nuclear weapons and technology to upset the fragile balance of power between the United States and Soviet Union).

The British director , Guy Ritchie, sits down in an interview and looks back on his prolific career, which includes his ill-fated 2002 drama Swept Away, which starred ex-wife Madonna.

In the interview, Ritchie laughed at how he had to be "peeled off the floor" between that bomb and his next fall in the 2005′s Revolver, Guy Ritchie stated, "I got myself in a lot of hot water by making Swept Away," Ritchie also said, "I like Swept Away.... I look at it as a healthy ingredient to the stew of becoming a filmmaker."

However, Guy Ritchie still got happier memories with his first film, the 1998 crime flick Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, the film that lauhed the career of Ritchie. The movies were one of Ritchie's more well-regarded efforts.

Guy Ritchie said, "Trudie [Styler], Sting's missus, was the first person to part with money to make Lock, Stock happen," "Sting and Trudie, they really had a lot to do with me having a career." "So in turn, I said, 'Could you be in it?'" Ritchie also said, "When I first met him, he was selling perfume on the street," "The opening pitch that he does in Lock, Stock is what Jason did."

In 2000′s Snatch, Ritchie re-teamed with Statham, which also starred Brad Pitt. Ritchie said that the film's distributor (Sony) was absolutely horrified by the basically incomprehensible Brad Pitt.

However, Ritchie found redemption after the Swept Away and Revolver flop, with Ritchie's blockbuster version of Sherlock Holmes in 2009 that starred Robert Downey Jr. Ritchie said as he remembered how relieved he was when he first heard the perfect pronunciation of Downey, "There's not many American actors that can do a flawless English accent," "From there, my job was done really."
