Charlie Mortdecai may be rude, arrogant and distinctly unlikeable, but he's also a terribly rich English art dealer with a drop dead gorgeous wife, charming looks and a trusty man servant. He has been enlisted to uncover a painting, lost for decades and containing a top secret code that leads to a hidden bank account inside which is mounds of Nazi currency. It is with much apprehension on the part of Inspector Martland that Mortdecai become involved, with him being notoriously overt and extremely moronic. But he is happy to help with the recovery, travelling to various corners of the world and dazzling those he meets along the way. However, he has a lot to face on his journey - from MI5 to terrorists and his wife's repeated questions.

'Mortdecai' is a forthcoming action comedy starring Johnny Depp in another characteristically eccentric role. It has been based on the novel 'Don't Point That Thing At Me' by Kyril Bonfiglioli, from the 70s 'Mortdecai Trilogy', and co-produced by Depp himself. At the helm is director David Koepp ('Premium Rush', 'Ghost Town', 'Secret Window') alongside screenwriter Eric Aronson ('On the Line'). The film is scheduled to be released in the UK on January 30th 2015.
