We’ve had one trailer already for Mortdecai, which finds Johnny Depp as the anarchic aristocratic art dealer Charlie Mortdecai. That first tease was more of a comedy trailer, but this new promo blends that mayhem with more plot details and some extra action. Take a look via Yahoo.
Based on the beloved novels by Kyril Bonfiglioli – namely Don't Point That Thing At Me, After You With A Pistol, Something Nasty In The Woodshed and The Great Moustache Mystery -– Mortdecai is a right royal romp of the highest order, with Depp surrounded by Paul Bettany as his valet, Jock, Gwyneth Paltrow as his wife Joanna, Ewan McGregor as an intelligence official looking to recruit Mortdecai to recover a stolen painting and Olivia Munn as a wealthy American with designs on our hero.
It’s all still very Jeeves And Wooster meets The Fast Show, with Depp clearly having a ball playing the upper class twit of the year and sporting a moustache that would make Ron Swanson tremble with jealousy. David Koepp wrangles the madness, and Mortdecai graces our cinemas on January 23.
