Orlando Bloom, known for iconic roles ranging from the elf warrior Legolas in The Lord of the Rings to the pirate heartthrob Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, is once again stepping into the spotlight with a fresh take on the action genre. This time, Bloom trades swords and fantasy for improv classes and undercover antics in Deep Cover, a quirky crime comedy set to debut on June 12 exclusively on Prime Video.
Deep Cover blends crime thriller elements with sharp comedy, delivering a fast-paced narrative centered around Kat (Bryce Dallas Howard), an improv teacher facing doubts about her career. Her world shifts dramatically when an undercover cop (Sean Bean) recruits her for a daring mission: infiltrate London’s criminal underworld by going undercover. To execute this risky plan, Kat enlists two of her improv students, played by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed (best known for Ted Lasso), to pose as gangsters navigating the city’s dangerous streets.
The film’s dynamic cast features Bloom stepping into an unconventional role, showcasing his versatility beyond the typical action hero. Bryce Dallas Howard’s portrayal of Kat highlights the film’s blend of comedy and suspense, while Sean Bean adds gravitas as the enigmatic cop orchestrating the undercover operation.
Directed by Tom Kingsley, known for his work on Ghosts and Stath Lets Flats, Deep Cover is crafted by a talented writing team including Derek Connolly, Colin Trevorrow, Ben Ashenden, and Alexander Owen. The production boasts industry heavyweights such as Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World), Walter F. Parkes, and Laurie MacDonald behind the scenes.
Running 100 minutes, Deep Cover offers a fresh narrative within the film industry’s evolving crime comedy niche, balancing humor with thriller tension. Fans of Orlando Bloom and those interested in innovative crime movie plots will find this release a standout.
Mark your calendars for June 12—Deep Cover is available worldwide on Prime Video, promising a unique mix of crime, comedy, and unexpected heroism.
