STORY: No Easter Resurrection for Johnny Depp’s ‘Transcendence’
Mortdecai, costing far less to make, stars Depp opposite Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Munn and Paul Bettany. Directed by David Koepp, the action comedy stars Depp as a rakish art dealer on the run from the Russian mob.
The movie is the first film to be distributed by Lionsgate via its new deal with OddLot, which produced Mortdecai alongside Depp’s company An Infinitum and Mad Chance.
Mortdecai opens opposite Liam Neeson action movie Run All Night and fantasy epic Seventh Son, starring Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore.
