Deep Cover, promoted as off-script, is going to be a hilarious undercover mission soon to be seen on Prime Video. According to the cast, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed, it’s the witty, well-crafted writing that makes all the difference. They say that the writers Ben Ashenden and Alex Owen cleverly blended character-driven and undercover comedy. “It will be fresh, fast, and funny,” they added.
Nick Mohammed, who plays the role of Hugh, says, “There were so many little moments in the show, and it is just so wonderfully written or adapted by Ben and Alex, who wrote this sharp script. Everything’s in the writing. It was all there already.” Sharing more insights about the film, Orlando Bloom, who transforms from washed-up actor Marlon into chaotic gangster Roach, continued, “It was all sort of executed because the writing was so good. The premise was so funny. You know, it’s easy to take yourself too seriously, right? But it’s very funny when you see somebody taking themselves too seriously. And so that was an easy win for me and my character. Marlon is just like this out-of-work actor, and then he turns into Roach, this Mancunian lunatic who is deep cover and takes it all too seriously.” Bloom further added, “And Nick’s Hugh, he’s like the squire; we used to call him that, and he’s like the most dangerous but the most unlikely dangerous. The premise and the way that the script came together were just excellent.”
Directed by Tom Tom Kingsley and, written by Derek Connolly, Colin Trevorrow, and Ben Ashenden, Deep Cover stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed in the lead roles. The organically original action comedy will stream exclusively on Prime Video from today in English and Hindi.
