A Priceless Masterpiece. A Clueless Mastermind.
All-Star Cast Embarks On International Escapade
In Laugh-Out-Loud Comedy Arriving On Digital HD May 5
And Blu-Ray™ And DVD May 12
SANTA MONICA, CA (March 23, 2015) – The witty caper comedy, Mortdecai, arrives on Digital HD
May 5 and on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital HD) and DVD (plus Digital) May 12 from Lionsgate Home
Entertainment. In the vein of Austin Powers and Inspector Clouseau before him, Johnny Depp (Pirates
of the Caribbean franchise) leads an impressive ensemble cast on an adventure through the world of
black market art dealers to find a missing painting. The film also features Gwyneth Paltrow (Iron Man
trilogy), Ewan McGregor (Star Wars: Episode I-III) and Olivia Munn (HBO’s “The Newsroom”), along
with Jeff Goldblum (upcoming Jurassic World) and Paul Bettany (Iron Man trilogy).
After a priceless painting is stolen, shady art dealer Charlie Mortdecai (Depp) is recruited by an old rival
(McGregor) to get it back. Mortdecai questions his rival’s intentions, but takes the job for the money and
to keep his high-maintenance wife (Paltrow) happy. With the help of his manservant (Bettany),
Mortdecai must face terrorists, angry Russians and more in a hilarious globe-trotting chase.
Based on the novel Don’t Point That Thing at Me from The Mortdecai Trilogy by Kyril Bonfiglioli, the film
is written for the screen and directed by David Koepp (screenwriter of Spider-Man, Mission Impossible,
Jurassic Park). And now, even more comedy lovers can experience the hilarity with the uproarious PG13 cut of the film, Mortdecai PG-13, available exclusively on Digital HD and On Demand. The home
entertainment release will include two behind-the-scenes featurettes including “Stolen Moments: On the
Set of Mortdecai” and “The Art of Noise: Making Music for Mortdecai.” The Mortdecai Blu-ray™ and
DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.99 and $19.98, respectively.
