Dexter Fletcher Directs ‘The League of Gentlemen’ Remake

Dexter Fletcher, who directed “Rocketman,” is set to direct a remake of “The League of Gentlemen” for Paramount Pictures. While the details are still a mystery, this modern take is based on the original 1960 heist film and written by “Moana 2” scribe Bek Smith.

Originally a British heist action comedy, “The League of Gentlemen” was directed by Basil Dearden and featured stars like Jack Hawkins and Richard Attenborough. In this story, a group of former British Army officers plans a bank robbery in London, framing the IRA for their crimes.

Key figures like Dalia Ibelhauptaitė, Michael Attenborough, and Emma Forbes are attached as executive producers for the project. Fletcher, known for “Rocketman,” as well as other works like “Ghosted” and “Bohemian Rhapsody,” is excited to take on this new challenge.

The remake will bring a fresh perspective to the classic tale, promising to captivate audiences once again. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
