A Snapshot Into A Stylish World

Scriptwriter Eric Aronson has adapted the 1970s crime novels for the screen and the movie looks to be very stylish indeed. Depp as the debonair art connoisseur will lead the glittering cast into a racing tale of the criminal underworld as high society and theft are combined on screen. Photos from the Mortdecai set show the actors looking sophisticated and smartly dressed. Depp was even seen pointing a pistol pulled out of his large tweed overcoat and looked to be trying to extract himself from a sticky situation.

It's early days yet so the film has not been given a release date. Filming seems to have been going well though so we're hoping for a mid to late 2014 release for this exciting new crime drama. Early clips from the movie were premiered at the American Film Market last month and reportedly received significant interest from international buyers.

Lionsgate motion picture group co-chair Patrick Wachsberger told Variety that the preview went down particularly well. "They loved it, and I love it," he said. "Johnny is creating an original character like Edward Scissorhands and Jack Sparrow in 'Pirates of the Caribbean.'"
