Actress Thandie Newton has told MTV that Guy Ritchie's upcoming crime thriller RocknRolla is the first in a planned trilogy.

"RocknRolla is one of three films and Guy’s keen to get going on that straight away," Newton revealed. "[The second and third films] are going to be excellent. I can’t wait."

The Run, Fatboy, Run star admitted she was impressed with the speed at which Ritchie works.

"We shot incredibly quickly [on the first]," Newton added. "He just gets on with it. He absolutely does not see challenges as intimidating."

Newton added that many of the film's cast, which includes Gerard Butler, Jeremy Piven and Tom Wilkinson, get killed off. "I managed to get away, but a quite a lot of them died," Newton said. “[The sequel] will follow whoever’s left.”

Newton plays a shady accountant in RocknRolla, a film that revolves around London gangsters chasing millions of dollars through a Russian mobster's real estate scam.
