Guy Ritchie is reportedly set to direct a musical.
The British movie maker — who has directed gangster flicks Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels — is said to be working on a “top secret” project with pal Jason Statham.
“Guy and Jason are collaborating closely on this top secret musical project,” a source told The Sun newspaper. “They’re well into development and realise they’re probably going to get a lot of stick.
“But Guy’s of the opinion that people have been having a pop at him throughout his career, so he couldn’t care less.
“He wants to do something audacious and a musical is just that.”
.
“Jason is really excited,” the source added. “He’s been watching loads of vintage musicals on DVD.
“He’s poring over Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers classics.
“But West Side Story has really captured his imagination. He was brought to tears the first time he watched it.”
