Prime Video has announced casting for upcoming UK Original Movie, Deep Cover. The British action comedy features an all-star cast headlined by woman of the moment Bryce Dallas Howard.

The film will be produced by Trevorrow via his Metronome Film Co. alongside Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald (Men In Black, Galaxy Quest). Annys Hamilton will Co-Produce. Tom Kingsley, known for the groundbreaking comedy series Stath Lets Flats, will direct.
