Guy Ritchie returns as director with Dan Lin, Joel Silver, Susan Downey and Lionel Wigram producing.

Warner Bros. has set a Dec. 16, 2011, release date for the film.

Kieran and Michele Mulroney wrote the script with plot details being kept under wraps.

Fry is best known in the United States for the 2008 television series "Stephen Fry in America." He also appears on the Fox series "Bones."
