What to expect in Deep Cover?
Deep Cover will be directed by Tom Kingsley from a screenplay written by British improv duo Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen, based on Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow. The story is set to follow “three improv actors hired by the police to help stage low-level stings,” reads the synopsis. “Their instinct to ‘always say yes’ without breaking character leads them deep inside the London criminal underworld.”
The film is produced by Trevorrow, Walter Parkes, Laurie MacDonald and Annys Hamilton. It is a production by Metronome Film Co.
