Guy Ritchie’s “In the Grey” Dropped by Lionsgate
Lionsgate has officially withdrawn from producing Guy Ritchie’s film “In the Grey,” which is now seeking new distribution. Black Bear representatives declined to comment, leaving open the possibility that their company might release the movie independently.
Production and Delays
The film, featuring Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González, completed its principal photography in summer 2023 after a two-month shoot under a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement. Lionsgate previously scheduled its theatrical premiere for January 17, 2025, but removed the title from its release calendar in November 2024.
Current Status
“In the Grey” simply wasn’t finished, with reshoots and pickup shots delayed for months due to scheduling conflicts.
According to sources, the main issue was coordinating the cast’s schedules. A few initial delays compounded into a series of postponements, creating what insiders describe as a production stalemate. Since then, little progress has been reported.
Industry Context
The project’s uncertain status continues to fuel speculation in the film industry. With Lionsgate stepping back and Black Bear exploring expansion into distribution, the ultimate fate of Ritchie’s film remains unresolved.
Author’s summary: Guy Ritchie’s “In the Grey” remains unfinished after Lionsgate’s exit, plagued by reshoot delays and uncertain distribution plans from Black Bear.
