Mortdecai, focuses upon art dealer Charles Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) who searches for a stolen painting, that's reportedly linked to a bank account, that is full of Nazi gold. Starring the aforementioned Johhny Depp, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor and Paul Bettany, Mortdecai is set for a January 2015 release.
Well, I think this film cements the fact that Depp is stuck in a cinematic rut. With recent flops, such as The Lone Ranger and more recently Transcendence, Depp seems to be verging on desperate in this role. Granted, there were moments that made me laugh (most notably the man servant joke), but what else was on offer seemed to be nothing more than B-level comedy.
Although Depp has some big releases to look forward to, most notably this years Into The Wood's scheduled for a December releases, it will be interesting to see whether the Actor's loyal fan base will stay loyal to the Pirates Of The Caribbean Star.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but if this trailer is anything to go by, it looks as if we will be seeing Depp's Inspector Clouseau impression grace cinema screens, not the high calibre performance we know the actor is capable of.
