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?

Samantha Crain's new album By Mark Savage, music correspondent Contentment and creativity are awkward bedfellows. Conflict is a more reliable catalyst for don't tell Oklahoma singer-songwriter Samantha Crain, who's about to release her seventh album, of bewildering beauty and life-affirming anthems, it was written over the last three years, as she unexpectedly fell in love."I spent much of my life as a lone wolf," she tells BBC News, "so hyper-independent that it became a defining trait.""But as I explored vulnerability and reciprocity in my relationships, I realised… we can change by the minute, and that's okay."In my ancestors' Choctaw language, there are no words for 'is' or 'are,' reflecting their belief that people, animals, and plants are not permanent or static. That's the biggest lesson of the past few years: I can be a lone wolf sometimes and still belong to a community."That realisation manifests in the lovestruck slacker rock of Dragonfly, and the finger-plucked Neptune Baby, with its refrain, "I'm a boat, and you are the water".Not that Crain's relationship was all plain sailing. Her new partner struggles with addiction, and a track called Melatonin finds her listing the items she brought them in rehab – "mint choc-chip ice cream, cigarettes, a watch"."You got it bad, but you got me," she an album of stunning poetic clarity and emotion – typified by the title track, an old-time country-rock ballad inspired by her love of detective novels."The word 'Gumshoe' has been in every writing notebook since I was a teenager," she says. "After watching The Maltese Falcon, I considered how detached detective characters are and imagined two loners finding love."Instantly, gumshoe came to mind—the perfect word for a song about unravelling the mystery of relationships."
