Bonfiglioli and posthumously completed by Craig Brown novel The Great Mortdecai
Moustache Mystery.
According
to The Wrap, Depp is going to play the lead Mortdecai as “he races to
recover a stolen painting rumored to contain the code to a lost bank account
filled with Nazi gold. Of course, he’ll have to contend with angry Russians,
the British Mi5, his impossibly leggy wife and an international terrorist
first.”
Johnny
Depp is still going to appear in Into the Woods and a new Jack Sparrow film,
Pirates of the Caribbean 5.
Book
Description Via Amazon:
Kyril
Bonfiglioli’s final novel follows the Hon. Charlie Mortdecai from adventure to
misadventure via Jersey and Moscow to a final showdown in a Buckinghamshire bungalow
of unparalleled hideousness. Tackling en route an unhealthy sprinkling of
well-seasoned academics, a cryptic monk, an aristocratic Chief Constable, and
more spies than you could shoehorn into a black stretch limo, Mordecai finds
himself embroiled in another mission of international insecurity. Left
unfinished at the time of the author’s death, the celebrated satirist and
parodist Craig Brown supplies the penultimate, plot-resolving chapter.
