- Guy Ritchie has set up new thriller ‘Dogfight’ at Netflix.
- Old friend and collaborator Jason Statham will star.
- It’s the seventh team-up for the pair.
Since Guy Ritchie gave Jason Statham his breakout film acting debut with 1998’s ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,’ the pair has worked on six movies together.
And now, with new thriller ‘Dogfight,’ they’re set to get started on a seventh, as Statham has agreed to star in the movie, set up at Netflix.
Yes, The Stath and… er… The Ritch? clearly enjoy sharing time on films, and they’ve only just finished one (more on that below).

What’s the story of ‘Dogfight’?
Netflix hasn’t released any plot details for this one, beyond the fact that it’s a “stylish revenge actioner” set in the London criminal underworld. So definitely right in Ritchie’s wheelhouse.
The filmmaker wrote the script and will produce as well as calling the shots. Production is scheduled to kick off next year in the UK.
What else have Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie most recently worked on?
The duo’s most recent collaboration is ‘Viva La Madness’, which is adapted from the sequel novel to ‘Layer Cake’ (which Ritchie produced) but in movie form will be a standalone story of drugs, guns and action. It’s in post-production right now, taking aim at a January 2028 (yes, not next year) release.
