Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Nick Mohammed, Ian McShane, Paddy Considine and Sonoya Mizuno star in the new British action comedy

Deep Cover will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide

LONDON, UK - February 1, 2024 - Prime Video will launch a new UK Original Movie, Deep Cover. The British action comedy features an all-star cast including: 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. Production begins on 5 Feb in London. Deep Cover will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide as part of the Prime subscription. Deep Cover is the latest addition to the Prime membership.

Deep Cover is based on an original script by Derek Connolly & Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World, Safety Not Guaranteed) with British improv duo Ben Ashenden & Alexander Owen setting the script in London. The film will be produced by Trevorrow via his Metronome Film Co. alongside Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald (Men In Black, Galaxy Quest). Annys Hamilton will Co-Produce. Tom Kingsley, known for the groundbreaking comedy series Stath Lets Flats, will direct.

"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."

WALTER F. PARKES, p.g.a. and LAURIE MACDONALD, p.g.a., have been instrumental in the creation of some of the most successful and acclaimed films in recent memory. Films produced and/or executive produced include: the Men in Black Series, Gladiator, Minority Report, Flight, Catch Me If You Can, The Ring, The Kite Runner, Sweeney Todd, The Terminal, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Deep Impact, Twister, The Legend of Zorro, Amistad, He Named Me Malala, and Free Solo.

The producing team also served as the heads of the motion picture department of DreamWorks SKG from its inception in 1994 through 2006. In this capacity they oversaw development and production of all DreamWorks' film projects, including, for only the second time in Academy history, three consecutive Best Picture Oscar winners: American Beauty, Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind - the latter two in partnership with Universal Studios. Other films produced during their tenure include: Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, Robert Zemeckis' What Lies Beneath, Adam McKay's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Michael Mann's Collateral, and Steven Spielberg's Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning drama Saving Private Ryan, which was the top- grossing film domestically of 1998. As a screenwriter, Parkes is largely acknowledged, along with partner Lawrence Lasker, as a pioneer in the development of the "tech- thriller" genre with WarGames, a Best Original Screenplay nominee, and Sneakers, starring Robert Redford. Current Parkes+Macdonald projects include the series My Lady Jane for Amazon Studios and Gladiator 2 for Paramount Pictures, both in post-production.
