Pierce Brosnan Is Back In Action!

Pierce Brosnan, a well-known former James Bond actor, has been out of spotlights since the last decade, often appearing in low-ranking romcoms, such as Love Is All You Need, or the rather known Mamma Mia!, the film adaptation of the infamous ABBA's albums. However, after retiring from his 007 title, he has done some noticeable flicks such as After The Sunset, and the critically acclaimed The Matador, which had him nominated for several awards. But, more recently, he has decided to jump back to the spy arena. Since 2005, he was developing a script for a down-the-earth action thriller featuring elements of espionage and world-wide conspiracy, and that happened to be November Man.

November Man is based on Bill Granger's novel in the series of the same name, which was released in 1987, being the seventh installment in The November Man series. Brosnan acquired the rights to produce a film adaptation of the book, in which he plays the main character, Peter Devereaux, who himself is an ex-CIA agent forced to come out of retirement to engage in a very personal assignment, pitted against his former protege, David Mason (played by Luke Bracey) in a very deadly game, which involves a catastrophic political conspiracy between many nations and countries.

Brosnan accompanied with Olga Kurylenko (Hitman, Oblivion), during the shooting on the film, with the entire adventure being set in Eastern European countries such as Serbia and Montenegro. Her character is named Alice Fournier, reported to be the key to the main storyline, and the only lead that Devereaux has to protect to get to the source he's after.

Other actors in supporting roles feature Iron Man's Bill Smitrovich, who plays the head of the CIA called Hanley, along with Will Patton, Eliza Taylor-Cotter and Caterina Scorsone featured in the cast-list. The project is directed by the infamous Roger Donaldson, who's known for his notable works, Species in 1995, Dante's Peak in 1997 (which stars Pierce Brosnan, again), more recently Al Pacino's The Recruit in 2003, and Jason Statham's high-octane suspense thriller The Bank Job in 2008. Once again, Beau St. Clair teams up with Brosnan to produce a film project through their Irish Dreamtime production company based in Los Angeles.
