Into the Mortdecai Affair

My girl Gwyneth Paltrow is keen to follow Johnny Depp to another potential franchise, y’all – so start lovin’ or hatin’ this bit o news...now.

Background: Depp was supposed to star in Black Mass, as Whitey Bulger, but a contract dispute sent him in a different direction.

And the actor’s new path led him to the David Koepp-directed Mortdecai.

The movie is based on a three-part series of books by one Kyril Bonfiglioli revolving around Charles Mortdecai, an anti-hero art dealer on a race against the clock to recover a stolen painting said to contain a code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.

No details about Paltrows prospective role have been released, but if she says yes to the project she would be reporting for work in the fall. This ones happening that fast.

Ewan McGregor is also in talks for a part, btw.
