A GREAT BRITISH COMEDY CAPER

Join Johnny Depp as debonair art dealer Charlie Mortdecai in a hilariously entertaining 21st-century romp

Oozing with charm and an abundance of British eccentricity, Charlie Mortdecai is a man with a plan. After inheriting a vast country pile without the funds to live the life to go with it, he concocts an elaborate plot to get his hands on a missing artwork rumoured to contain The code To a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.

Depp ( Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland), replete with ludicrously exotic moustache, is an inspired casting choice as this Modern-day comic cad, following In The filmic footsteps of greats such as Peter Sellers, Sid James, Bernard Cribbins and Terry-Thomas.

A connoisseur of good food, fine libations, beautiful women and the most elite trappings of wealth, Mortdecai’s long-suffering wife,

Johanna, is artfully portrayed by a luscious Gwyneth Paltrow ( Iron Man, Country Strong), with Olivia Munn ( The Newsroom, I Don’t

Know How She Does It) as the seductive, wealthy heiress Georgina Krampf – also on the trail of the stolen painting and an attractive distraction for the unscrupulous cad at The centre of this fun-filled frolic.

Adding to the stellar line-up, Paul Bettany ( Iron Man, A Beautiful Mind) plays Mortdecai’s dutiful righthand man, Jock Strapp, alongside Ewan McGregor ( Star Wars, Epi

sodes I, II & III) as Alistair Mortland, an old Oxford contemporary of Mortdecai’s, who has always been a rival for Johanna’S affections and still holds a candle for the alluring blonde.

Inspired by Kyril Bonfiglioli’S Cult Trilogy of

Mission Impossible, Jurassic Park, Spiderman) David Koepp, Mortdecai is a fabulously funny British comedy caper for the 21st century, with more than a touch of madcap Jeeves and Wooster thrown in for good measure.
