Black Bear has released the first official trailer for Guy Ritchie's latest action comedy, In The Grey, which boasts a very impressive cast including Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Kristofer Hivju, Emmett J. Scanlan, Jason Wong, Michael Vu, Fisher Stevens, Rosamund Pike, and Carlos Bardem.
This movie was originally set to hit theaters last year, but ended up being dropped by Lionsgate before Black Bear acquired the distribution rights.
The story focuses on "a covert team of elite operatives who live in the global shadows" (just for a change) who are hired to retrieve a billion-dollar fortune from a ruthless despot. The usual low-stakes shenanigans ensue.
This looks... like a Guy Ritchie movie. If you like Guy Ritchie movies, you should probably give this one a shot. If not, we'd steer well clear.

In The Grey follows a covert team of elite operatives who live within the global shadows, as comfortable wielding power and influence as they are automatic weapons & high explosives. When a ruthless despot steals a billion-dollar fortune, the team is sent to steal it back on what would be for anyone else a suicide mission. What begins as an impossible heist gets much worse, spiraling into an all-out war of strategy, deception and survival.
