The trio revealed in a behind-the-scenes Q&A in the movie World Premiere Wednesday night that Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed brought their crime comedy "deep cover" into life through real friendship and collaborative improvisation.

The action comedy is directed by "Stath let let flats" Helmer Tom Kingsley and is directed by Colin Trevorrow through his Mentronome Film Co.

"Deep Cover" began streaming its debut debut of the SXSW Screen Festival in Prime videos on June 12.

Trevorrow revealed the project’s unusual Genesis, explaining that the concept began in 2010 when he and co-author Derek Connolly heard that New York City police used actors as bait. The film is based on the original scripts of "Jurassic World" collaborators Connolly and Trevorrow, while British impromptu duo Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen set up the scripts in London.

Director Kingsley describes how the project evolved from comedy roots. "I think maybe it started as a comedy. As we move forward, bigger and bigger stars join us," he said, noting that ambitiousness and financing adds a more refined action sequence.

Howard said the screen chemistry between the three wires stems from Howard's real connection. “I mean, honestly, it’s the nature of the script and the atmosphere…we’re all really getting along,” she explained. “I think we’re all at a similar stage in our lives, we have kids, so we’ve connected with it.”

For Bloom, known primarily for dramatic and action characters rather than comedy, experience represents a new territory. “I’m not known for comedy,” he admits, praising supportive writing and mentoring, which helped him find humor through the seriousness of his character.

Mohammed is the three-man’s work on “Ted Lasso,” the most popular experience of the trio, finding himself in an unfamiliar field of action. “I mean, I mean, I’m a fan of action movies and blockbuster hits,” he said of “Hollywood certified movie star.”

The film was made entirely independent in London, which is a sense of pride for the filmmakers. "It's not easy. It's getting harder when we get film funding." Trevorrow explained that thanks to Amazon's distribution partnership and the dedication of British film staff to make ambitious projects possible with competitive budgets.

Trevorrow added: “I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with British film crews for many years.”

Kingsley stressed the importance of real London locations taking root in the comedy layer. "We hope this movie is real. I think the comedy will be more interesting," he said.

"We need postcards that look a little dangerous in London, not too dangerous," the director explained, noting that some night shots in industrial areas require additional safety precautions.

Despite being a film about improvisation, the work relies heavily on scripts. "It's a very tight script, like it's a mile per minute, and it's really complicated," Kingsley noted. Although improvisation happens on site, most of it didn't lead to the final cut due to the speed of bringing up.

Howard praised the collaboration process: "We've never been treated like puppets... It's a very collaborative, organic process. So improvisation is used as a way for us to get into the scene."

Trevorrow reflects on the night of the night with comedy clips in the theater. "We live in an era where we rarely watch comedy in theaters, a theater full of laughter, which I always liked when I was a kid, I always liked it," he said. "This movie will be on Amazon, and we're very grateful for it, but tonight is very special.

The cast also includes British icons Paddy Considine, Ian McShane and Sean Bean.
