Olivia Munn In Talks To Join Johnny Depp In ‘Mortdecai’ By DOMINIC PATTEN | Wednesday August 21, 2013 @ 2:55pm PDT EXCLUSIVE: The Newsroom actress could soon be added to the cast of the adaptation of Kyril Bonfigloi’s anti-hero art dealer novels. Olivia Munn is in negotiations I’ve learned to join Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor in the David Koepp-directed Mortdecai. Details are sketchy about Munn’s potential role in the Lionsgate thriller but doubtful that she’ll be playing the Jock Strapp character, Mortdecai’s long-suffering manservant in the books. Eric Aronson wrote the script for the film from Bonfigloi’s 1970s work with Depp playing the roguish Charlie Mordecai. Besides her role as business journalist Sloan Sabbith on Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom on HBO, now in its second season, the former Daily Show correspondent is also in the upcoming horror crime film Beware The Night with Eric Bana and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Olivia Munn is repped by CAA and Mosaic.
