‘Deep Cover’: Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Paddy Considine, Ian McShane Set For Prime Video UK Action Movie About Improv Actors Working For The Cops

Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean and Paddy Considine are aboard an Amazon movie about improv actors hired by the police to help stage low-level stings.

The quartet are joined by the likes of Ian McShane, Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) and House of the Dragon’s Sonoya Mizuno in Deep Cover, which will launch globally on Prime Video.

Directed by Stath Lets Flats’ Tom Kingsley, the movie is based on an original script from Jurassic World’s Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow with British improv duo Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen. Set in London, Deep Cover sees three improv actors hired by the police. Their instinct to “always say yes” without breaking character leads them deep inside the capital’s criminal underworld.

“We’re delighted to be bringing this new action comedy to our customers”, said Tushar Jindal, Head of Content, UK for Prime Video. “With an incredible cast, a top-class creative team, and a fantastic script we know it’s going to be a hit.”

The film will be produced by Trevorrow via his Metronome Film Co. alongside Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald (Men In Black). Annys Hamilton will co-produce.
