Thescreescore – This article is part of Thescreescore.com’s Exclusive Summer 2025 Movie Preview. Keep an eye out for the full feature this week! A new image from Deep Cover reveals Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed, three improv masters, going deep undercover as London gangsters. Directed by Tom Kingsley, this crime comedy throws the trio into the heart of the English capital’s underworld as they work with police to bring down a criminal network. The trailer already hinted at the chaotic brilliance, showcasing the actors’ comedic timing alongside seasoned veterans Sean Bean, Paddy Considine, and Ian McShane.
The image, exclusively unveiled by Thescreescore.com, shows Howard, Bloom (as Kat, Marlon, and Hugh respectively), and Mohammed seemingly in a tense apartment setting, their gazes fixed on something unseen. The tension is palpable, a stark contrast to the comedic mayhem promised in the film’s trailer.
Producer Colin Trevorrow added a delightful behind-the-scenes anecdote: “Just like on Safety Not Guaranteed, we had a vintage car that only sometimes worked and a limited budget. For a key moment, the director (Tom) and the producer (me) had to physically push the car to get it to land in frame for its last shot once it stopped running.” This quirky detail perfectly encapsulates the film’s blend of high-stakes action and comedic improvisation.

This marks a significant departure for Bloom and Howard. While both have dabbled in comedy, Deep Cover presents them in full-blown comedic roles, a refreshing change from their established dramatic personas. Mohammed, a seasoned comedic actor (known for Ted Lasso and Bridget Jones’s Baby), provides a strong comedic anchor, potentially elevating his co-stars’ performances.
The image itself, while not explicitly revealing plot points, hints at the film’s unique dynamic. The pairing of these three actors is unexpected and intriguing, promising a fresh comedic experience. The film’s challenge lies in balancing the comedic elements with the inherent danger of its premise. However, if executed well, Deep Cover could be a truly unique genre-bending experience.
