Layer Cake Leaving Prime Video Ahead of Jason Statham Project

Prime Video will remove the 2004 British crime thriller Layer Cake from its catalog on Tuesday, March 3, leaving viewers barely two weeks to stream the film. Directed by Matthew Vaughn in his feature debut, Layer Cake is widely regarded as one of the best British crime thrillers.

Daniel Craig’s performance is often cited as a standout pre-James Bond role, and Tom Hardy delivered a breakout supporting turn; the film earned modest box office returns but drew praise for its stylized concept. Talks of another Layer Cake movie resurfaced after J.J.

Connolly wrote Viva La Madness, and Jason Statham reportedly acquired rights in 2013 with plans to adapt it and step into the unnamed central gangster role. Statham has reunited with Guy Ritchie on a project described as a standalone — not quite a reboot nor a direct sequel — and production reportedly began in January 2026 in London with an expanded ensemble that includes Vinnie Jones, Jason Isaacs, Babs Olusanmokun, Camila Mendes, Ben Foster, Jonny Lee Miller and Raúl Alejandro.
