Fans of the Jason Statham Guy Ritchie collaboration are eagerly anticipating their sixth joint project, Viva La Madness, set to bring their signature high-energy storytelling back to the big screen. The thriller, inspired by J.J. Connell’s 2011 novel, follows Statham as a drug dealer entangled in a dangerous money laundering plot, reaffirming the dynamic duo’s talent for crafting compelling crime tales. Alongside Statham, the film features a stellar cast including Matthew Vaughn, Jason Isaacs, Camila Mendes, and Vinnie Jones, promising an intense viewing experience.
The duo’s creative partnership dates back to 1998 with the cult hit Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which marked the beginning of a series of successful collaborations. Over nearly thirty years, the pair have built a reputation for delivering action-packed and suspenseful narratives that captivate audiences. Although their latest film, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, released in 2023, marked their most recent joint effort, fans now face a much-anticipated wait for their next project.

While fans await Viva La Madness, they can revisit the start of the Statham-Ritchie saga with Snatch, which will become available for free streaming on Tubi beginning February 28. This film, which was the sophomore effort for both Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie, features a renowned cast including Brad Pitt, Stephen Graham, Alan Ford, Benicio del Toro, Dennis Farina, and Bobbie Gee. Staying true to Ritchie’s hallmark style, Snatch interweaves two intersecting storylines set within the criminal underworld, packed with colorful characters and sharp dialogue.
The Impact of ‘Snatch’ on Their Careers

This success underpinned many of their future collaborations and established Statham as a credible action hero.
This renewed access to Snatch offers both longtime supporters and new viewers a chance to experience the film that shaped much of Ritchie and Statham’s subsequent work. With this opportunity on Tubi, anticipation builds for their upcoming release, highlighting the duo’s continued influence on the genre.
