Mortdecai

Elegant and slightly eccentric, Charles Mordecai is a true connoisseur of art and a bit of a con artist. After all, when you are in a field where the creations of human genius cost a lot of money, how can it be otherwise. That is why he is being hunted by Russian thugs, the British intelligence agency Mi5, and it is still unclear who. And Mordecai, meanwhile, needs to find a stolen canvas in which the key to the bank safe is hidden. And there will be Nazi gold in it. The task for the pro-education Charles is very simple - to survive and travel around the world in search of a picture.

Depp had previously managed to work with Kepp, who invited the actor for the adaptation of Stephen King's novel "Secret Window". The film's producers initially wanted to invite the Dutch actress Keris van Houten for the main female role. The film directed by David Kepp is based on one of the stories of the literary hero Kirill Bonfiglioli. The events of Bonfiglioli's books begin in England, so they decided to shoot the film there as well, although there were other options. The work boiled over in London on October 21, 2013. Depp's character's mustache is a very important element of Charles Macabre's character. For this, make-up artist Joel Harlow made thirty mustaches. In addition, he made the actor a couple more dentures, with which the mustachioed hero would look a little cartoonish. And although the comedy itself is not an action movie, however, there are some action scenes. Rowley Irlem was invited to develop and stage them. The stunt coordinator has such projects in his filmography as "Prometheus", "007 Skyfall Coordinates", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Thor 2: The Kingdom of Darkness" and others.
