Cannes. Day one. And the deals just keep on rolling. Next up from the international film festival is word that Pierce Brosnan’s production company, Irish DreamTime, has signed on for a multi-picture financing and distribution deal with The Solution Entertainment Group. Right out of the gate, the companies have announced their first picture – a film that will put Brosnan make where he should be: with a gun in his hand and someone shady at his back. Brosnan will star in November Man alongside Dominic Cooper. The film will be directed by Roger Donaldson (The Recruit, Dante’s Peak, Cocktail, and The Bank Job) from an adapted script by Michael Finch (Predators) and Karl Gajdusek (Trespass), who will be drawing from Bill Granger‘s 1987 book “There Are No Spies,” one of many espionage novels by the late author. With so much material to draw from, November Man is being viewed as the first film in a potential franchise. The film “tells the tale of an ex-CIA operative who is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.” Intrigue!
