Aubrey Plaza Talks Operation Fortune, Performing Stunts & Spanking Jason Statham

From director Guy Ritchie (Sherlock, The Gentleman) and Lionsgate, Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is an action-packed spy thriller that stars Jason Statham. Alongside the action staple, Operation Fortune features an ensemble act that rounds out an international team of experts, including Cary Elwes, Bugzy Malone, Josh Hartnett, and Aubrey Plaza in another high-octane flick. Most recently, Plaza’s big shift from comedies was a lead role in the independent film, Emily the Criminal. For fans of Kick-Ass Aubrey, her role as Sarah Fidel in the film sees her hacking into the mainframe, wielding weapons, and hanging out of classic Mustangs “whipping around cliffs.”
In Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre, Jason Statham is Orson Fortune, a super spy with a distinct set of skills, who must partner with a highly skilled team of operatives in order to take down Greg Simmonds (played by Hugh Grant), a billionaire arms broker whose new weapons technology threatens the world order. In order to get the information they need to take Simmonds down, the team will employ his favorite movie star, Danny Francesco (Hartnett), to take advantage of the proximity Simmonds allows. With the help of his expert team, including Plaza’s tech genius, Orson Fortune blackmails the actor into aiding their mission to track down the dealer. High stakes, fast cars, killers on a yacht, and lots and lots of weapons - what could go wrong?
Before Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre’s theatrical release, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Plaza. During her interview, she shares what it was like to work with Guy Ritchie, changing up scenes on the fly and learning songs in 10 minutes, and how she “aggressively” pursued this role. Plaza also talks about the action scenes she filmed for the movie, joking with Statham on set, and what it was like working with Mike White on The White Lotus.

I loved the movie and thought she was perfect in it. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone else that has seen it. So much fun. So much witty dialogue. The casting was great.
