Director Guy Ritchie Talks 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre,’ Rewriting Each Scene on Set & Jason Statham’s Chess Skills

We spoke w/ GuyRitchie about OperationFortune, why he rewrote nearly every scene on set, Jason Statham’s chess skills, what the holdup is for 'Sherlock Holmes 3,' and whether he wants to do 'Aladdin 2.'

After some delays, director Guy Ritchie’s new action-packed comedy, Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre, is finally set to hit theaters this weekend. The spy-thriller reunites Ritchie with frequent collaborator and the “old man who creeps around on crutches,” Jason Statham, as the titular super spy. Ritchie’s off-the-cuff direction on sets has contributed to a number of popular crime thrillers, including The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

GUY RITCHIE: I was, absolutely. There's no debating that at all. Jason's terrible and I'm pretty good.RITCHIE: He cheats. I mean, it'll be maybe if he cheats. I hope you interview him later because you'll hear a very different story now. He's a shocking cheat, shocking cheat. Actually, shocking chess player. That’s not what he thinks.

RITCHIE: No, for me it doesn't work like that. For me, it's a conspiracy of events that have to collide or a moving concert, and then you capitalize on a premise, a moment in time, the freedom that you have, whether you've made anything like that recently. There [seem] to be a lot of different components that go into the attic of your mind. You do this sort of intuitive arithmetic, “Do we fancy this about now?” Two years earlier, you may have not fancied the project at all.

I think that's probably been the same with all of my projects. I've always left about four or five days, of which is usually three that you need, to consolidate ideas that can be made more efficient in terms of plot and so on, and I think they're all pretty much consistent in that sense. I don't think one has been more work than the other.

I'm glad to hear that. I've seen you work on set, and I'm curious, with Operation Fortune, how much is actually scripted on something like this, and how much are you tweaking everything on set on the day to finagle exactly what you want? Because I saw you do it on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the Sherlock Holmes movies, and I could see the way you were tweaking things and I'm curious if it's still the same.
