Guy Ritchie seems undeterred by the poor response to his latest movie, Revolver, starring Jason Statham, which is said to have disappointed critics and fans.

The British director, who has recently left Kabballah, is already working on his next film project.
This time, Ritchie is thinking about an ancient historical comedy, about the 16th century Great Siege of Malta by the Ottoman (Turkish Empire), according to Contactmusic.

"I finished another script, which was based on the siege of Malta, and that took about a year to write.
I was going to do that one first but then a load of epics came out. So I thought I'd see how they did. I'd still like to make it.", he confessed.



The British filmmaker's decision was inspired by the success of the adventure movie PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL.

"I think they work best if they're fun. They don't seem to work if they're serious because they're silly stories.
If I was to go either way, it would probably be more towards Pirates", Ritchie added.
