What brought about the sudden approach of Brad Pitt, a big fan of the previous work



The sudden approach of Brad Pitt during the planning of this film was also a turning point in his fate. In a phone conversation, he told me that he was a big fan of ``Lock, Stock,'' and if there was a role he could play in the next movie, he asked me to take him on. Okay, I'll come up with something,' Richie promised, and since it was impossible for him to play a gangster with a downtown London accent, he played a wandering people called Irish Travelers (in the movie, Pikey). He was cast as one of the people (who is often referred to as a derogatory term).


This was also the most outrageous element. He always has a rough demeanor, and when he opens his mouth, it's hard to understand what he's saying, but when it comes to boxing, he's extremely strong. This unconventional character, which has a different lineage from `` Fight Club '' (1999), was something Brad Pitt had never played before. It is also clear that his participation had a great effect on the film's foil and audience mobilization.

Incidentally, according to one theory, movie legend Sean Connery was also offered the role. Matthew Vaughn hurriedly set up a screening of ``Lock, Stock'' for him, and when he saw it, he really liked the movie. However, the two parties could not come to an agreement, perhaps because the conditions did not match, or perhaps it was an issue of pay, and this discussion never happened. Alan Ford would instead play the film's ferocious villain Brick Top, but if Connery had agreed, the familiar layout of the film's posters would likely have been drastically different. .
