Orlando Bloom, Bryce Dallas Howard and Nick Mohammed opened Tom Kingsley’s London comedy Deep Cover in the Barbican Hall, as a world premiere at SXSW London.
Deep Cover, a London comedy starring Orlando Bloom, held its SXSW London world premiere in the Barbican Hall at the Barbican Centre on Wednesday 4 June 2025. Bryce Dallas Howard and Nick Mohammed joined him on the carpet.
Bloom was born in Canterbury in 1977. Two days after graduating from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1999, he was cast as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings.
Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, Paris in Troy and Balian in Kingdom of Heaven followed. BAFTA later gave him its Britannia Humanitarian Award.
Tom Kingsley directed the film from an original story by Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow. The British comedy duo Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen wrote it for the screen.
Howard plays Kat, an improv teacher recruited by the police, who enlists two of her students, Bloom and Mohammed, to infiltrate a London gang. Paddy Considine, Ian McShane and Sean Bean take supporting roles.
Prime Video released the film worldwide on 12 June 2025, so the Barbican audience saw a film shot on London streets before its streaming release.
