Guy Ritchie is turning his back on directing gangster films - he's reportedly working on a movie musical. Former Mr. Madonna best known for making Snatch, Lock, Stock, and Rock N' Rolla is set for a departure from the tried-and-tested genre and is working with movie hardman Jason Statham on a singing movie, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.

A source tells the publication, "Guy and Jason are collaborating closely on this top secret musical project. They're well into development and realise they’re probably going to get a lot of stick.

"But Guy's of the opinion that people have been having a pop at him throughout his career, so he couldn't care less. He wants to do something audacious and a musical is just that."

Statham has publicly claimed he loves Fox's So You Think You Can Dance?, and I'm sure there's a couple of people out there that would be interested to see what else that muscly body and raspy voice can do other than beat the shit out of people with style. Color us intrigued.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - (38% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)Pick of the Week

X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated. Critical consensus says though Hugh Jackman gives his all, he can't help X-Men Origins: Wolverine overcome a cliche-ridden script and familiar narrative. Sure it's flawed and the same as the leaked print, but it's Wolverine, so we will be there regardless.

The animated tale follows the peaceful inhabitants of the beautiful planet Terra come under attack from the last surviving members of humanity adrift in an aging spaceship, the stage is set for an all-out war between the two races for control of the planet.

I know! Wtf?

I follow Jon Favreau on Twitter. So while the rest of you are busy wondering what is going on with Iron Man 2: The Return of Awesome Shit, I'm sitting fat at my house playing video games with the knowledge that Jon feels "it's dark out and I'm leaving for work, or that the 24th was a "big day today. Lots of extras. The shows first pyro gag. I have to admit, it's fun to blow things up."
If you follow Mr. Favreau, in addition to breaking news about this summre 2010 blockbuster you would also know that that the first look at Iron Man 2 is available. What do you guys think?
