Guy Ritchie is reportedly being sued by a writer who claims The Gentleman copied scenes from a script he wrote.According to a report from Variety, Ritchie is at the heart of a lawsuit which was filed in the London High Court last month by actor and writer Mickey De Hara.
In his suit De Hara claims that Ritchie commissioned him to write a sequel to the 2008 gangster movie RockNRolla, which was to be based on De Hara’s “personal life experiences”.De Hara goes on to claim that he delivered a script but alleges Ritchie told him “the time of the gangster movie was over”.
The actor and writer goes on to claim that two years later, Ritchie released The Gentlemen, with De Hara claiming the film is a “substantial” reproduction of the script he delivered in 2018.Ritchie’s 2019 crime thriller famously starred Matthew McConaughey as a smooth-talking marijuana supplier who risks everything to leave the drug business.
It garnered mixed reviews, but proved to be a hit with movie-goers with an audience score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.The film received a two-star review from NME upon its release, which called it a “cartoonish crime caper is stained with casual racism”.
