Prime Video drops fast-paced Deep Cover trailer with House of The Dragon and Black Mirror stars
Sean Bean will be starring in Amazon Prime's new action comedy Deep Cover, working alongside a host of big names, including two House of The Dragon stars
Prime Video is all set to launch a star-studded action comedy that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Deep Cover, featuring Game Of Thrones and Troy star Sean Bean in a pivotal role, released its official trailer earlier this week.
Bean will portray an undercover cop who seeks the assistance of an improv comedy teacher to infiltrate London's underworld.
The 66-year-old actor will share screen space with actress Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays the teacher questioning her missed opportunities when she encounters Bean's character.
Howard is known for her roles as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3 (2007), Claire Dearing in the Jurassic World series, Hilly Holbrook in The Help, and the Director in Disney+'s The Mandalorian.
Her character Kat enlists two of her students to impersonate dangerous criminals to extract the information they need.
Kat's "students" are played by none other than Orlando Bloom of The Lord Of The Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean fame, and Nick Mohammed from The Martian and Douglas Is Cancelled.
Joining them are two stars from House Of The Dragon, Paddy Considine who plays King Viserys I Targaryen, and Sonoya Mizuno, known for her role as Mysaria "The White Worm".
Judging by the trailer, it's going to be a wild ride for Kat and her trio of "criminals".
The trailer kicks off with Kat, looking bewildered, teaching an improv class and emphasising the importance of "being in the moment".
Little does she know, Bean's enigmatic undercover cop is amongst the audience, and he later approaches her with a proposition: "I'm looking to work with someone just like you."
Kat mistakenly assumes he's a talent scout until he unveils his badge, clarifying that he is actually a "detective sergeant".
As the plot thickens and they face genuine mobsters, Mohammed's character is gripped by fear and exclaims, "I think I'm going to die!".
However, Bloom's persona is there to bolster his pal's courage, reassuring him: "No. You were so good. You were so committed. It was inspiring."
The question remains: How long can these rookie improv actors maintain their façade before things turn truly dangerous?

Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun, explains: A TV Licence currently costs £169.50. Some people mistakenly believe that you only need a TV Licence if you have a TV or watch BBC channels. You aren't breaking the law if you own a TV without a licence, as long as it's not hooked up to an aerial or other live broadcasting equipment - so you can use it with your PS5 for gaming for example. The basic principle is, that if you are accessing any live broadcast from any channel, whether it be through a TV or online, you must have a TV Licence. If you are recording a live broadcast to watch later, you also need a TV Licence. Watching on-demand content does not require a TV Licence - except if you're watching BBC iPlayer. Image credit: Alamy

Amazon quietly adds 'simply perfect' horror movie
It was a huge hit with fans and critics alike Amazon Prime has finally added what fans are calling the 'best horror film of 2024', described as a 'masterclass in suspense'. Heretic, which appeared on the platform's coming soon list over a month ago, is now available for streaming at no extra cost to Prime subscribers from today (June 1). The film created quite a buzz when it hit cinemas last year, featuring iconic British actor Hugh Grant in an unexpected role that earned him a BAFTA nomination for Best Leading Actor. The plot centres around two young missionaries who find themselves caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse after knocking on the door of the sinister Mr. Reed (Grant). Trapped in his house, they must rely on their faith to escape alive. Written and directed by filmmaking duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, known for writing the original A Quiet Place together, their latest project was equally well received, earning a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, reports the Daily Record. One verified reviewer said it 'messes with your mind'. Fans continue to heap praise on the film, with many claiming it is the 'hands down, best horror movie of 2024.' Viewers have been raving about the psychological thriller Heretic, with one commenting: "Thought-provoking. Somewhere between Saw, Cube, and 10 Cloverfield Lane, wrapped in a 'crisis of faith' theme. Come for the psychological thriller, stay for the philosophical killer. Excellent performances/directing. Much like the titular antagonist, the film manages to hold a microscope up to religion while giving us challenging choices to make." Hugh Grant has earned high praise for his role in the film, as one audience member remarked: "Heretic is an absolute masterclass in suspense and psychological horror, and Hugh Grant delivers one of the most chilling performances of his career." The same fan added: "Stepping away from his usual charming roles, Grant embodies pure menace with eerie precision, proving once again why he's one of the most versatile actors in the industry." Praise was also heaped on A24 by a cheerer of their work, who said they 'knocked it out the park again', while another viewer suggested 'Hollywood has done a disservice to Hugh Grant.' That person elaborated: "Based on this performance, he clearly should have been given more antagonist roles. He chews up dialogue like Denzel in Training Day and easily layers on tension and malice. Fantastic." Another enthusiast expressed that their immediate reaction after seeing the film was simply: "This movie is simply PERFECT. Like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" perfect."
