Production is about to begin for the Prime Video original movie ‘Deep Cover’. The cast has been announced and it includes Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World), Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings), Sean Bean (Game of Thrones), Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso), Ian McShane (John Wick), Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon), and Sonoya Mizuno (Maniac, House of the Dragon).
The film sees three improv actors hired by the police to help stage low-level stings. Their instinct to “always say yes” without breaking character leads them deep inside the London 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.”
