Watch The ‘Snatch’ TV Show Trailer, Starring Ron Weasley, Chuck Bass And Freddie From ‘Skins’
ENGLAND!!!!
In 2000 Guy Ritchie made Snatch, a movie that was so good that people kept forgiving him for every terrible movie he has directed since.
Now because we live in an era of endless recycling (when it comes to pop culture, not actual helpful recycling) Snatch has come back as a 10-part TV show about a group of twentysomethings in London stealing jewels, flirting with organised crime and drinking a lot of lager.
Obviously showrunner Alex De Rakoff is cashing in on the nostalgia for the original, but that’s not the only cultural cachet at play. He’s also employing some teen idols, Rupert Grint (Harry Potter, obviously), Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) and Luke Pasqualino (Skins), who will surely get people tuning in even if they’ve never seen the original Snatch.
Snatch will air on Sony’s free streaming service on March 16.
