The action film Henry Cavill In The Grey, directed by Guy Ritchie, is set to hit theaters on April 10. This highly anticipated release arrives springtime, joining a competitive slate of new movies while showcasing a high-stakes story of covert operatives on a dangerous mission.
Production and Distribution Details Behind the Release
In The Grey was produced by Guy Ritchie and Ivan Atkinson for Toff Guy, John Friedberg for Black Bear, and Dave Caplan for C2. Initially, Lionsgate held the domestic distribution rights but ceded them to Black Bear after it established its own U.S. distribution operations. Despite the transition, Lionsgate retains responsibility for the film’s digital and pay-TV release, maintaining a collaborative partnership with Black Bear.
The Ensemble Cast and Creative Team
Guy Ritchie wrote and directed this original action project, featuring a star-studded lineup including Henry Cavill, Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Eiza González, Kristofer Hivju, Oscar winner Fisher Stevens, and Oscar nominee Rosamund Pike. The combination of Ritchie’s signature style and a talented cast creates a dynamic cinematic experience.
Guy is one of the all-time greats when it comes to creating action as fun as it is gripping,
said Benjamin Kramer, President of U.S. Distribution for Black Bear.
In the Grey features every ounce of his trademark style and wit, not to mention a hugely talented cast led by Jake, Henry, and Eiza. We are thankful to our partners at Lionsgate, whose flexibility and collaboration have been instrumental in bringing this together. We look forward to continuing to work with them as we bring this great film to audiences.
