WHO IS CHARLIE MORTDECAI?
Add to the list of puckish rogues, charming ne’er-do-wells and sly adventurers played by Johnny Depp the
role of Charlie Mortdecai, cash-strapped British aristocrat and protagonist of the new action-comedy Mortdecai.
Based on the charismatic anti-hero of Kyril Bonfiglioli’s popular trilogy (Don’t Point That Thing at Me, Something
Nasty in the Woodshed and After You with the Pistol), Charlie Mortdecai is a professional bon vivant and
occasional art dealer perpetually at the end of his financial rope.
Upbeat, satirical and utterly British in style and tone, the novels featuring Charlie and his manservant Jock
Strapp are often compared to P.G. Wodehouse’s madcap creations, the Jeeves and Wooster stories. In
Mortdecai, Charlie charms, schemes and blunders his way in and out of hilariously compromising situations as he
attempts to beat out an array of international evildoers on the trail of a priceless Goya masterpiece that could also
be the key to claiming missing Nazi millions.
Depp had already read and fallen in love with Bonfiglioli’s novels when the script found its way to him. “I’d
read them years before and they made me laugh out loud,” says Depp. “They are irreverent and insane in a way
I thought would translate well to the screen.”
The actor asked his friend and colleague David Koepp to take a look at the project with an eye toward
directing. “I can’t say enough good things about David Koepp,” Depp says. “I have loved him since we did a film
called Secret Window years ago. It was not a comedy but we were able to incorporate a lot of humor into it,
which is part and parcel of what David does as a writer and a director. He had a vision for this movie and he
created an atmosphere where the actors could try anything.”
A prolific Hollywood screenwriter (Mission Impossible, Jurassic Park, Spiderman) and director (Ghost
Town, Premium Rush), Koepp discusses the Mortdecai trilogy; “I read the books and the character made an
indelible impression. He just leapt off the page. I couldn’t imagine anyone apart from Johnny playing Charlie from
the moment I read it. Johnny is so gifted at playing that kind of louse, the cowardly but loveable sort of character.
He seems to have patented it over the last 15 or 20 years.”
The script Depp passed on to Koepp was written by Eric Aronson (On the Line), a screenwriter he felt
clearly understood the rarefied world of Charlie Mortdecai and shared the actor’s affection for the character. “Eric
had actually given it to me as a writing sample,” explains Depp. “It made me laugh out loud all over again. He got
that thing, that magical thing that’s in the book. I thought, this guy’s really good—and we started pursuing it.”
Aronson first discovered the Mortdecai trilogy in a bookstore near London’s famous tourist landmark,
Trafalgar Square, while he was working for the British government. “On the back of the jacket, it was described as
a cross between P.G. Wodehouse and Raymond Chandler,” he recalls. “A light just went on in my head.”
He learned that the stories had a cult following with fans that included actors Hugh Laurie and Stephen
Fry, and writers Julian Barnes and Craig Brown. “They’re the kind of books that get passed around, which is how
Johnny Depp originally came by his very old, very worn copy,” says Aronson.
His main character is motivated by necessity, Aronson points out. “Charlie Mortdecai inherited a vast
mansion in the countryside, but he’s run out of luck and funds. In order to supplement his income, he becomes a
shady art dealer, living by his wits and making his money through backroom deals. In our film, Charlie and his
manservant Jock Strapp come to America intending to steal some art.”
Or as Koepp prefers to put it: “Charlie is trading in artwork of uncertain provenance.”
“He is an unscrupulous fellow, but he has excellent taste,” adds the director. “He is broke and needs to
heat that gigantic house, Mortdecai Manor, so he comes up with a scheme to do that. It happens that his
expertise is in fine art. He doesn’t really care if that art didn’t strictly belong to the person he got it from or that
perhaps it’s a fake.”
Mortdecai features beautiful people in beautiful clothes, bantering wittily and doing outrageous things.
“You want a plot that’s complex enough to support a caper, but not so complicated that it weighs down the
beautifully fun comedy,” notes Koepp.
THE KEY PLAYERS
Johnny Depp is Charlie Mortdecai
Charlie Mortdecai is a connoisseur of good food, fine libations, beautiful women and the most elite
trappings of wealth. He also frequently finds himself entangled in matters of an ambiguous legal nature. Asked by
MI5, the British Security Service, to track down a missing Goya painting, Charlie hopes to discharge his debts to
“Queen and country” by retrieving the purloined artwork.
“Actually, Charlie gets involved in finding the Goya because he sees an opportunity to sell it,” Depp says.
“His aristocratic ways are intact, but his bank book is worn out and Charlie needs to rectify that.”
Badly behaved, violently snobbish and completely self-interested, Charlie was also endlessly appealing to
the actor. “He is a blatant narcissist who has no relationship with the truth, except as he sees it,” says Depp.
“What drew me to the character more than anything was the challenge of making this guy, who is a little bit
shady and most definitely a con man, someone you can sympathize with.”
Depp took his inspiration from classic English film comedians including Peter Sellers, Sid James, Bernard
Cribbins and especially Terry-Thomas, the irrepressible, gap-toothed star who defined the term “upper class twit”
for several generations.
“The movie is filled with witty, rapid fire dialogue,” says Depp. “It was hugely important to nail that down
perfectly. On the other hand, there’s a great deal of physical comedy, which is such a specialized skill. The
combination of very smart, sometimes totally ridiculous dialogue and the physical comedy is something I really
connected with.”
Charlie’s biggest weakness is his beloved wife Johanna, for whom he will do anything—except shave off
his magnificent moustache.
Gwyneth Paltrow is Johanna Mortdecai:
Charlie’s luscious blonde wife Johanna is played by Academy Award ® winner Gwyneth Paltrow. Johanna
and Charlie have been together since college. She is posh and very clever—certainly more clever than Charlie.
“Charlie is not virtuous or smart or heroic,” notes Koepp. “He’s a rogue and that’s what his wife is drawn
to. He makes her laugh and that goes a long way. They’re intensely jealous of each other and, like any good
marriage, it’s kept alive with a little bit of spice.”
“Gwyneth is perfection as Johanna,” says Depp. “This a caper movie, teetering toward farce, and timing
was everything. She had that down pat.”
Coming between the couple is Charlie’s latest attachment—his new moustache. “He’s grown this
moustache while she’s been away,” Paltrow explains. “She is appalled by it. She tries to get past the moustache,
but she just can’t. She finds it physically revolting and it almost makes her throw up. Filming those scenes was
categorically the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do—to get through it without breaking was so hard!”
Paltrow believes the moustache is a metaphor for what’s going on in the marriage. “Something on the
surface seems off, but really there’s much more underneath. However, their relationship is charming, they’re cut
from the same cloth. They have a lot of fun and there’s a very strong chemistry that has kept them together all
these years.”
Paul Bettany is Jock Strapp
Everywhere Charlie Mortdecai goes, he is accompanied by his manservant and right-hand-man Jock
Strapp, a faithful but upbeat bruiser who dedicates his life to protecting his boss.
British actor Paul Bettany, who plays Jock, was introduced to the project by Johnny Depp while the two
were filming Transcendence. “Johnny asked me if I’d ever read the Mortdecai books,” remembers Bettany. “I
hadn’t and he gave me all of them. Afterwards Johnny mentioned he was going to make them into a film and
asked if I wanted to play Jock.”
Depp says that while Bettany is not known as a comedic actor, he is one of the funniest people around.
“He was the only person who could play Jock in my eyes,” he adds. “That fact that he’s a big, tall, seemingly
serious Nordic god of a man only makes it funnier.”
Always present, Jock is an indispensable and sometimes seemingly invisible element in Charlie’s life.
“Charlie Mortdecai is Jock’s cross to bear,” says Bettany. “Charlie is a penniless aristocrat in need of a driver and a
butler and, often, an enforcer. Jock has been shot several times in his service and even been run over by Charlie,
but he still is focused on protecting him. Jock possesses this calm equanimity and Buddhist stoicism.”
Scarred, brutish and sporting a glass eye from one of Charlie Mortdecai’s many near misses, Jock is catnip
to the ladies, which is a source of befuddlement for Mortdecai. “Mortdecai is going through a very hard time with
his wife,” says Bettany. “Johanna is refusing to sleep with him because he has grown a ridiculous moustache. Until
he shaves it off, she won’t allow him to enter the boudoir. It’s particularly frustrating for Mortdecai that wherever
they go, Jock manages to effortlessly attract an endless stream of women.”
Jock’s unique look comes courtesy of hair and make-up designer Sallie Jaye, who outfitted Bettany with a
distinctive scar and an unusual glass eye. “I got Paul’s input and had various Photoshop images created of him.
We considered a shot-out eye, but we decided to go for an interesting pupil that was quite arresting rather than
repulsive. It’s a comedy after all and he’s supposed to be attractive to the opposite sex. We needed to give him a
scar, but since he’s supposed to be irresistible to women, we had to make it a sexy scar.”
Ewan McGregor is Alistair Martland
Charlie’s insecurities are reinforced by the arrival of Alistair Martland, an old friend from their college days
who is still attracted to Johanna. A highly placed officer in the MI5 - British Security Service, Martland is a
sensitive, softhearted poetry-reading detective who loses his composure whenever Johanna is around. On the trail
of the missing Goya masterpiece, he comes to Charlie for help.
“There’s a lot of history between me, Charlie and Johanna,” McGregor explains. “Martland is in love with
her and has been since they were all at Oxford together. He thought they were going to get together, but Charlie
always prevailed. That became the root of Martland’s animosity towards Charlie. That rivalry carries on through
everything.”
Martland is in most ways a much better match for Johanna than Mortdecai, according to Koepp. “He’s
smart, he is heroic and he has a huge career,” the director says. “He’s all the things that are traditionally valued,
but she doesn’t love him. She is, however, not above flipping her hair in a certain way she knows he likes so that
she can get information out of him.”
McGregor was drawn to the film’s combination of wit and broad physical comedy. “It reminds me a lot of
the Pink Panther movies from the 1970s,” he says. “There’s a humor to it that I haven’t seen on screen for a long
time. It’s very cleverly written.”
“Charlie Mortdecai’s an eccentric and he’s got a very particular turn of phrase,” McGregor continues. “He
is wordy and he likes language a great deal. He’s living in a different age, as if he’s stepped out of the past.
Johnny plays him hilariously well.”
Mortdecai also marks a welcome reunion of McGregor and director David Koepp, who previously
collaborated on Angels & Demons. “I was happy to be working with David again,” says the actor. “He shoots very
quickly and knows exactly what he wants. He’s a smooth director who isn’t afraid of movement and he’s got a
wonderful sense of humor.”
McGregor also previously collaborated with Paltrow, on the 1996 period drama Emma. “It was nice to
work with Gwyneth again after all this time,” he says. “We have a couple of really fun scenes together.”
Jeff Goldblum is Milton Krampf:
Milton Krampf, an American billionaire described by Koepp as a “thick-fingered vulgarian,” happens to be
in the market for both Charlie Mortdecai’s vintage Rolls and the elusive Goya painting, which brings Mortdecai to
Los Angeles.
“It’s a really stylish and funny caper set in the world of the idle rich,” says Goldblum. “Charlie Mortdecai is
trying to get his finances together, so he has to sell his Rolls Royce to this rich guy in Los Angeles. They’ve had
dealings in the art world before, but when he shows up to deliver the Rolls it becomes a little more complicated
than he anticipated.”
Goldblum says he was thrilled with the creative team behind the project. “Eric Aronson wrote a delightful
script that made me excited about becoming part of the film,” he says. “I have always been a fan of P.G.
Wodehouse and this reminded me so much of those stories. I have known and loved David Koepp since he wrote
the screenplay for Jurassic Park. He is a masterful and unique artist. Johnny Depp—I’d never met him before, but
I’ve been a fan of his acting for years. His characterization is something you don’t often see from a leading man.”
Olivia Munn is Georgina Krampf
Georgina is the daughter of American billionaire Milton Krampf and the film’s sexy femme fatale.
Like Mortdecai, Georgina has her eye on the missing Goya and will do whatever it takes to get her hands
on it. “Georgina’s father has a lot of money, but she wants her own,” says Munn.
“She’s a rich girl from California,” adds the actress. “She’s into names, brands and being fancy. For a girl
like Georgina it doesn’t matter how much money she has if she’s not famous. The world of Mortdecai is stylized
and heightened, but I have actually met a lot of these kinds of very wealthy, very eccentric people in Hollywood.”
Working with director David Koepp for the first time made Munn an instant fan. “He’s unlike any director
I’ve worked with before,” she says. “David knows exactly what he wants, he doesn’t overshoot and I swear he’s
editing in his head. It’s very rare to find a director so well-prepared and so thorough who still keeps things fun.”
Depp notes that fans familiar with Munn from her role on the television drama, “The Newsroom,” will see
her in a completely different light. “I didn’t expect her to be this funny,” he explains. “I was really impressed by
her handling of the deadpan humor of her character.”
Jonny Pasvolsky is Emil Strago:
Emil Strago is a revolutionary who wants the Goya painting to finance a violent worldwide uprising. Along
the way, he meets Georgina Krampf and takes up with her, hoping to get the cash he sorely needs.
“Georgina and Emil want to put their own personal stamp on the world,” Pasvolsky notes. “She’s lived in
the shadow of her wealthy father and he has a crazy fanatical cause. They’re just doing something to get noticed,
which can also be destructive. I think they are attracted to each other for the purpose of using each other.”
Although Emil and Mortdecai are adversaries throughout the movie, their mutual moustaches foster an
odd fascination between the two. “We have nothing in common, but we both have moustaches. It comes down to
manhood and the moustaches become a kind of obsession between us.”
JOEL HARLOW, MOUSTACHE WRANGLER
“The moustache is a major character in this movie,” says Academy Award®-winning make-up designer
Joel Harlow, Johnny Depp’s personal make-up artist since their first collaboration on Pirates of the Caribbean: The
Curse of the Black Pearl. “It had its own trailer and traveled with an entourage.”
The well-coifed facial hair was one of the essential elements of Charlie Mortdecai’s eccentric English
aristocrat look. It was inspired by The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery, Bonfiglioli’s unfinished fourth book,
which was completed by Craig Brown and published posthumously. “Mortdecai’s moustache is a focal point of the
movie,” says Harlow. “It’s a source of contention between him and his wife. Mortdecai is very proud of it, but he
comes up against moustache rivalry with other characters.”
With a whole world of styles to choose from, from huge handlebars to barely-there pencil moustaches,
Harlow and Depp zeroed in on a look that perfectly fit Charlie Mortdecai. “There’s a kind of Hercule Poirot
influence because it is a bit fuller in the middle and has this little flourish on the side. It’s very groomed and
manicured to complement the character. He’s very polished, so I can’t really imagine him having any other style of
moustache.”
Depp had some very specific ideas about the moustache. “Johnny actually did a little sketch of the style
he had in mind on a napkin,” recalls Harlow. “I took it to my hair design person and she tied the moustaches with
the hair colors. We made three moustaches in the same style but different colors. One of those was more of a
blond and that’s ultimately what he chose as it matched the hair color he decided on.”
Once they had decided on the color and style, Harlow proceeded to have roughly 30 versions of the
moustache made with slight variations. “Some are stunt doubles and riding doubles because a moustache goes
through a bit of wear and tear in an action movie,” says the make-up designer. “Mortdecai brushes it a lot, which
has a tendency to break up the hairs. He gets punched a couple of times so there’s blood in the moustache and
that stains the lace that it’s attached to.”
The application and maintenance of Mortdecai’s moustache was a very delicate process that started early
each morning with Harlow applying layers of matte spirit gum. Throughout the day, he would reapply the glue to
the edges. The production went through one or two moustaches per week.
“If the Charlie Mortdecai character didn’t have a moustache, he wouldn’t be the Mortdecai character,”
declares Harlow. “The moustache is such a part of the character and the way Johnny uses it is comedy gold.”
Depp also liked the idea of having a gap in his teeth, so Harlow ordered up a set of dentures with a split.
“David Koepp thought they might be a little too much like a caricature, so we opted to just paint it in.”
Depp’s chameleon-like ability to transform himself had some on set convinced that he was wearing facial
prosthetics, but Harlow says that is not the case. “The addition of that moustache changes his look so much, we
really didn’t need to do anything else.”
CONSTRUCTING MORTDECAI’S WORLD
Production designer James Merifield, an Emmy® Award winner with credits including the acclaimed British
television series “Little Dorrit,” was drawn to what he saw as a strong retro feeling in the writing of Mortdecai.
“That was something I wanted to springboard into the design,” he recalls. “We should hark back to the style of
movies in the 1940s and 1950s. When it became apparent that director David Koepp felt the same way, we
designed Mortdecai Manor with quite a few references to that era.”
Merifield says he approaches his designs through character and found a wealth of inspiration in
Mortdecai. “The characters leap off the page with great gusto, joy and humor,” he says. “Charlie Mortdecai is a
true English gentleman. He scorns anything that isn’t classically correct. He needed the right type of walking stick
and the perfect moustache comb because it’s all in the detail. That’s something I obsessed about.”
Wrotham Park in the English countryside became Mortdecai Manor, the fictional English country estate
that Charlie and Johanna call home. “Mortdecai Manor had to be a practical location rather than a studio build to
get the right feeling on camera and for the actors,” notes Merifield. “It’s crucial that they walk from the Rolls
Royce across the sweeping driveway, up palatial steps, through a huge front door, up an amazing staircase. That
way, they are immersed in the character from the moment they walk on set.”
Technical requirements for some scenes meant that Merifield also built interiors at Pinewood Studios.
Although the production moved from the UK to Los Angeles for key exteriors at the Standard Hotel, the interiors
of the trendy West Hollywood boutique hotel were shot on D Stage at Pinewood. “The rooms at the Standard are
quite small,” he says. “We created walls that could float and give a bigger working space so we could shoot the
scenes more efficiently.”
One of the biggest studio builds was the set for Sedgwick’s, a Sotheby’s-style art auction house. Not only
did the production need to accommodate a roomful of extras, the action plays out from the main auction room
into a smaller storage area and features an epic sword fight between Mortdecai and Emil. “It was one of our
biggest action sequences,” says Merifield, “We had swords and Samurai suits being slashed, and boxes falling
down on people’s heads so we needed an environment where that could comfortably occur.”
The iconic Goya painting intrinsic to the storyline was created specifically for the film. “We referenced a lot
of real Goyas in order to create our own,” says the production designer. “An extraordinary painter named Sally
Dray was given complete artistic freedom to make it. She painted two, because we needed doubles of everything
in case one was damaged during shooting.”
SEWING UP MORTDECAI’S SIGNATURE STYLE
Like most great costume designers, two-time Academy Award-nominee Ruth Myers describes herself as a
storyteller. “The design part is easy,” she says. “We’re trained to dress women to look beautiful and men to look
gorgeous. The difficult part is figuring out how to reveal subtle secrets that add to the character and give the film
another dimension.”
Mortdecai is Myers’ idea of “a fabulous job.” To come up with Charlie’s eccentrically aristocratic look, she
collaborated with the director, the actor and the producers. “David Koepp and I were very much in sync,” she
says. “We both wanted to make this look beautiful in a traditional way, going back to the old Hitchcock or Pink
Panther films. If you think about the Pink Panther films, people were beautifully dressed. It wasn’t done for
comedy at all, which was very much the essence of what I’ve tried to create. David was very encouraging. He’s a
wonderful director who is incredibly foresighted, helpful and generous with his ideas which make a huge
difference to a job like mine.”
Working with the actors is always a highlight for the designer. “I love the fittings, which is my time to play
and put some ideas forward. It is also a time to absorb what they want and how I can help them achieve that.”
It was the first time Myers had worked with Depp. “I pray it won’t be the last time, because I absolutely
adore him,” she says. “Johnny’s incredibly responsive and he gives you an enormous amount to work with. The
first time I met with him, I’d found this wonderful old English tweed coat that we both just loved. I’m not sure we
even used it in the film but it was a touchstone for his look.”
In Myers’ imagination, Charlie Mortdecai is not just an eccentric; he is also a fashion plate. “Mortdecai
loves his clothes,” she says. “He’s a peacock, fluttering around with his tail feathers in the air. He never looks
anything but exquisitely turned out and right for the occasion. We put Johnny in perfectly tailored clothes and
added all these wonderful, colorful details, like cufflinks that match every suit, and silk ties coordinated for every
outfit. Even his socks match! We got the shoes from Church’s, the iconic English shoe company. He always has a
waistcoat and braces, which gives him a slightly old-fashioned look.”
Dressing Paltrow again was also a gift for Myers, who was Oscar®-nominated for her work on Emma.
“Having worked with Gwyneth before, it was easier to have that shorthand. We talked a lot about what English
people wear in these rather cold, drafty, old homes.”
Meyers envisioned Johanna as a Grace Kelly-esque blonde. “How exquisitely elegant she was,” says
Myers. “We tried to take the character out of the fashion world and dress her in a classical English look. You won’t
ask what she’s wearing this year. You’ll see her as a very easily elegant English woman, although she does have
some very high fashion items, including a Stella McCartney dress and suit.”
Paltrow and Myers talked about the idea of some of Johanna’s posh wardrobe having been inherited from
her mother, so the designer mixed in a generous amount of vintage couture pieces for a timelessly beautiful style.
“I’m thrilled with the way she looks,” Myers says. “Gwyneth would look good in anything, but her clothes in this
film reflect her character’s real essence.”
For Ewan McGregor’s Martland, Myers and director David Koepp were keen to create a look that gave the
MI5 officer equal standing with Mortdecai, rather than looking like an ordinary detective. “We didn’t want to see
Johnny, who got the girl, looking absolutely exquisite while Ewan looks rather a sad character,” says Myers. “We
went for a traditional English look using a lot of Burberry and beautifully cut handmade shirts. He looks like a
proper English gentleman. He starts off in an old Eton school tie since they talk about him having been educated
there. That seemed the perfect way to identify him as an upper class-boy who has gone into the secret service.”
Myers enjoyed costuming several other singular characters for the film, including Mortdecai’s manservant
Jock, bombshell Georgina and Emil, the terrorist: “Jock’s the sexy one, so we dressed him in a fun leather jacket
and jeans. Georgina is a girl who rides horses, so she’ll be rather restrained in her clothes, but there are always
shock elements with her. Emil’s a revolutionary and he’s gone to a great deal of trouble to dress himself as one.
We played around a lot with his look and found the perfect pair of sunglasses, the perfect head gear and the
perfect pair of gloves for the character.”
AND…ACTION
As one of the U.K.’s busiest stunt coordinators and second-unit action directors, Rowley Irlam has either
coordinated or performed in some of the biggest action movies shot in the country, including Guardians of the
Galaxy, The Legend of Hercules, Thor: Dark World, Captain Phillips, Prometheus and Skyfall, for which he received
a SAG Award® for Outstanding Action Performance in a Motion Picture.
Although Mortdecai is a comedy, it is packed with action sequences, as Jock constantly saves Charlie
from outlandish mishaps. Irlam coordinated a motorbike and sidecar careening through Moscow, an unforgettable
sword fight and a massive explosion sequence featuring virtually all of the key cast members.
“We also shot a big car chase in East London,” Irlam says. “There was lots of skidding around and we
ended up crashing into a boulevard. We cannoned the back end for that comedy finale.”
Irlam and director Koepp had a specific strategy for the film’s action. “This movie is very much actor
driven,” he says. “I see it as bit of an homage to Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. My work was not just about
stunts. It was about making the whole piece quirky, interesting and different.”
One of the most challenging stunt sequences for Irlam and his team was the complicated sword fight
between Mortdecai and Emil. Koepp, Depp and Irlam talked about finding the right balance between realistic
combat and Mortdecai’s notorious cowardice and physical ineptitude. “Mortdecai is a blagger, so David and Johnny
didn’t want him to look supremely skilled,” says Irlam. “It was more about his desire to avoid confrontation and
run away.
“We had Johnny Depp and Jonny Pasvolsky in for some rehearsals for sword fighting and wire work,” he
continues. “We showed them how it would play out with a stunt double first, then they’d have a go and put their
own twist on it. You can’t just drop off a harness to their trailer and say ‘put that on and we’ll see you on set!’”
MUSIC TO HIS EARS
According to composer Geoff Zanelli, David Koepp created “a two-headed monster” when he asked Zanelli
to partner with musician, producer and DJ Mark Ronson to create the score for Mortdecai. “David wanted a
combination of the sound Mark created on his “Version” album and the storytelling through music he knew he
could rely on me for,” says Zanelli. “He said ‘I need melodies and I keep hearing Mark Ronson in this. Would you
like to meet with him and see what you two can do together?’ That was an easy thing to say yes to!”
Because Zanelli and the director had previously collaborated on the films Ghost Town and The Secret
Window, they already had a comfortable working relationship. “David creates the perfect space for a composer to
feel he can take chances. He understands completely when I need to go experimenting and creates a climate
where I'm not afraid to play the wrong notes every once in a while. Sometimes the answers come quickly but
other times you really have to sneak-up on them. David is able to listen to something I've got in progress.”
Zanelli and Ronson began the process each working solo and then coming together to see what they had
come up with. “We knew quickly that the collaboration was going to work when we found that quite a lot of what
we had written had similar musical language,” Zanelli remembers. “The Mortdecai theme came about when we
took a melody I had written and worked it into an arrangement Mark had come up with, It defined the opening of
the movie. Once we had that, we were emboldened and we did a ton of work together in the studio, hunched
over the same piano. There are only a handful of cues in the film that we didn't both work on.
“Mark Ronson has real authenticity,” Zanelli continues. “Everything from the equipment he uses to the
musicians he chooses are part of what makes his music special. It's all old soul, new vibe. This was the closest
I've come in my professional life to recapturing the feeling I had as a teenager of making music for the sheer joy
of creating it.”
Because Mortdecai has, as Zanelli puts it, one foot firmly set in the 1960s and the other in the present,
the pair found ways to reflect that in the score they created. “Our overall concept was to have the music be the
bridge between the two,” he explains. “There's an orchestral element as well as a band with a horn
section. Neither overshadows the other. They are of equal importance.”
To that end, they also combined old-fashioned instruments with their modern equivalents, pairing, for
example, what Zanelli calls “the crustiest harpsichord in all of London” with a clavinet, a similar-sounding
instrument that is electrically amplified, or, in a scene set in Hong Kong, doubling up a traditional Chinese stringed
instrument called a pipa with an electric guitar.
Koepp’s most frequent notes to his actors were “faster!” and ‘remember, it's a caper!” and the composers
kept those words mind as they worked on the score. “There's a sense of energy about every note, whether it’s
simmering tension, explosive action or just upbeat buffoonery,” says Zanelli.
The composer says he’s very happy with what he and Ronson accomplished together. “The strength of
the score allows it to transcend its original reason to exist and elevates the importance of this music in the film,”
he notes. “After we were done, David told me that what he loves about it is that it is exactly what we said it would
be. Scores always evolve over time and this one is no exception, but he was right. We hadn't deviated from the
original idea even as the music evolved.”
TALENT BIOS
JOHNNY DEPP (Charlie Mortdecai) is an award-winning actor who is also producing under the banner of his
company, infinitum nihil.

JOEL HARLOW (Designer & Makeup Artist to Johnny Depp) is an Academy Award®-winning talent and one
of the most innovative makeup and special-makeup artists and designers currently working in American motion
pictures. He has enjoyed a long-standing professional relationship with actor Johnny Depp since they first
collaborated on Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl , directed by Gore Verbinski and produced
by Jerry Bruckheimer. Most recently, Harlow worked as Depp’s makeup artist on Alice in Wonderland, The Tourist,
The Rum Diary, Dark Shadows and The Lone Ranger (another Gore Verbinski/Jerry Bruckheimer production, for
which Harlow was also makeup department head).
Harlow shared in an Academy Award® win with fellow makeup artists Barney Burman and Mindy Hall for their
work on J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek (2010). He won a Critics’ Choice Award for his work on Alice in Wonderland and
Emmy® Awards for the television miniseries versions of Stephen King’s The Stand and The Shining. He has also
received nominations for Mad Men, Carnivàle and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Harlow’s passion to work on film began with a childhood viewing of the
original 1933 King Kong. Moving to New York City at college age, he studied animation at the School of Visual
Arts, but his true passion was special makeup effects. Harlow gained practical experience on such New Yorkbased, low-budget genre films as The Toxic Avenger Part II (and III) and Basket Case 2.
Harlow then moved to Los Angeles, where he worked for several makeup-effects houses before finally landing at
Steve Johnson’s XFC, Inc., where he remained for eight years as a makeup-effects designer on a number of films.
From there Harlow began working on such high-profile films as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A.I. Artificial
Intelligence, Planet of the Apes, Constantine and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Harlow
became the key makeup artist, makeup-effects supervisor, prosthetic-makeup designer and special-effectsmakeup supervisor on both Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s
End. He then worked as makeup-department head on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, directed by
Rob Marshall.
Harlow was key makeup artist on Ron Howard’s Angels & Demons, key prosthetic-makeup artist for Christopher
Nolan’s Inception and Martin Campbell’s Green Lantern, and makeup department head on Jonathan Liebesman’s
Battle Los Angeles.
Harlow’s company, Joel Harlow Designs, creates a full range of state-of-the-art makeup, special-makeup effects
and prosthetics, from lab to set.
SALLIE JAYE (Hair & Makeup Designer) is a BAFTA Award winner (for Iain Softley’s Wings of the Dove). She
was also BAFTA nominated for Robert Altman’s Gosford Park. Jaye received both a BAFTA and a Royal Television
Society Award for her work on the celebrated TV series French & Saunders and was BAFTA nominated for Dennis
Potter’s Lipstick on Your Collar.
Feature film credits as a designer have included Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, City of Ember, In Bruges,
Cassandra’s Dream, Scoop, Match Point and 28 Days Later. Credits in other capacities include Skyfall, Blood
Diamond, Never Let Me Go, Imagine Me & You, Alfie, The Beach, Chocolat, Ella Enchanted, Johnny English and
Johnny English Reborn, Ever After, Sense & Sensibility, Rob Roy and Howards End.
