Johnny Depp's 'Mortdecai' to release in January next year

Los Angeles: Hollywood star Johnny Depp-starrer 'Mortdecai' has had its release date moved forward and will now hit theatres on January 23 next year.

The David Koepp's action comedy will now release two weeks earlier than originally scheduled, reportedly. As a result of the shift, 'The Age of Adaline' with Harrison Ford and Blake Lively has been pushed back until April 24.

Depp, 51, plays a roguish art dealer on the hunt for a stolen painting that holds the code to a bank account full of Nazi gold in the adaptation of Kyril Bonfiglioli's novels.

The Lionsgate movie also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Olivia Munn and Paul Bettany. 'Mortdecai' was filmed in both London and Los Angeles.
