A TV series based on Guy Ritchie’s 2000 movie Snatch is in development over at Crackle.
The planned show was mentioned in an official press release sent out by the U.S. streaming service just yesterday. Here’s a bit more about it from that original release.
New 10-episode, one-hour drama series based on the world of the wildly popular Guy Ritchie movie, SNATCH.
Much like the television series, ‘Fargo,’ Crackle will carry the spirit of the setting in the original feature film, while creating a new world born from the original movie. Informed by a real life gold bullion heist in London, the show centers on a group of twenty-something, up and coming hustlers who stumble upon a truck load of stolen gold bullion and are suddenly thrust into the high-stakes world of organized crime. The boys must quickly learn to navigate the treacherous waters of London’s underworld as rogue cops, gypsy fighters, international mobsters and local villains descend.
Snatch starred Jason Statham, Brad Pitt, Dennis Farina, Benicio Del Toro, Vinnie Jones, and Rade Serbedzija, and was really quite brilliant. It stands out to repeat viewing even now, 16 years after its original release. It’s widely considered to be, along with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, both Ritchie and Statham’s Hollywood calling card.
More as we get it.
