What you may need to know:
1. Art dealer Charles Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) searches for a stolen painting with the code to a lost bank account containing Nazi gold. With Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Goldblum, Ewan McGregor and Olivia Munn.
2. How has Depp never been in a Wes Anderson Movie?
3. If you’re wondering who Depp is channeling here – that would be Terry Thomas.
4. We won’t be happy unless he uses “beastly” as an adjective at least once. While twirling that moustache.
5. Mortdecai is based on a P.G. Wodehouse-style series of books by Kyril Bonfiglioli. Don’t expect a trilogy.
6. @0:37 – we call that “pulling a Cheney.”
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: “Air hair lair”
Release Date: 30th January 2015 (UK).

Johnny Depp is so Arcade Fire.
2. Something to be thankful for. Depp is a phony hack.
” How has Depp never been in a Wes Anderson Movie?”
Because he’s Burton’s boy. It’s a Beatles/Rolling Stones kinda thing.
But weirder.
