Movie stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed star in the new Prime movie, “Deep Cover.”

The movie follows Howard’s character, an improv teacher that recruits two of her improv students played by Bloom and Mohammed to work with cops to go undercover to impersonate dangerous criminals.

Although in the movie their characters do improv, the stars of the movie feel the script is a solid piece of work.

“It was a great combination of all the right elements,” Bloom said. “It really started from a great piece of material in which to work.”

“Tom Kingsley our brilliant director allowed us to have a little play and it always felt playful, but we never needed to beat the script,” Mohammed said. “It was always there on the page.”

“There’s an incredibly strong map for great dialogue,” Howard said.

If the movie took place in New Orleans the stars of “Deep Cover” thought it would be fun if they went undercover as a jazz band.

“We would be some kind of musical troop,” Bloom joked. “What would we call ourselves? The Deeper Covers and we’d do cover songs. Bryce would stand there and be sassy, while Nick would play the trumpet, no, the trombone. By the way it would be brilliant if we are so out of tune as well.”

But the movie, “Deep Cover” is hitting all the right notes.
