Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Nick Mohammed Set for Amazon Film ‘Deep Cover’

Amazon has ordered Deep Cover, a U.K. original action comedy movie starring 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 Prime Video 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,” according to a plot description.
