A: English action-movie auteur Guy Ritchie has a lot of movies in the pipeline, but "The Real RocknRolla" isn't one of them. Fans like yourself remember that, at the end of the 2008 action-comedy "RocknRolla," a title card said that "Johnny, Archy and the Wild Bunch will be back in The Real Rockn- Rolla." But 15 years have passed and we're still waiting. It looks like the film's somewhat disappointing box office return killed the idea of a sequel. This has happened with a couple of Ritchie's other flops that were intended to launch franchises: "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." (2015) and "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" (2017). But it could also have to do with the fact that he's become pretty busy with more guaranteed hits in the years since. His first film after "RocknRolla" was 2009's "Sherlock Holmes," the mega-smash that got an immediate sequel two years later. He also directed Disney's live-action remake of "Aladdin" in 2019, a film that broke the billion-dollar mark (making "RocknRolla's" $25 million look paltry). A sequel to "Aladdin" is one of the projects currently on his backburner. Guy Ritchie ON WARNER BROS. celebrityUpdate OF ROCKNROLLA
