I agree. He should come along for the next season of The Gentlemen in Netflix. Maybe even as a Julian Noble type of villain. That would be fun.
Oh, good suggestions, gentlemen. That would suit Brosnan to a T. Great casting ,and he'd be a stand out (as Hugh Grant was in The Gentlemen (film)... I'd love to see Brosnan rolling in the muck with these characters!)
Oh yes, I've forgotten of how great Grant was. Pierce could very well come along as Fletcher or some sort of fun character like that. Ya know what? Just bring on Grant as well. The Gentlemen is being hailed as the best show on Netflix for ages, and it'll bring a ton of money in, I'm sure. It would be a crying shame not to properly expand that universe and characters into more seasons.
@peter, just imagine this - bit of free writing here -, Brosnan and Grant as two assassins, one with an upped, bit of maniacal humor (Pierce) and the other a true downer (Grant), as if a bipolar chap was divided in a pair of misfit oldies who are doing what they do for too long now. Oh, I'd pay to see that one ;)
Yes, with a "humor(ous)" twist ;)
Someone get Guy on the phone! Pronto!
@peter, I'll up the fiction a bit more: They're a couple, married, a proper old couple with their domestic quarrels, Pierce the eternal optimistic, Hugh, the realist downer, depressed for ages. Divorce lingers between them, they're at a turning point, an existential crisis. One still loves the job, the other is figuratively being killed by it. A former IRA and an East Londoner cockney, in love since forever, now falling out of it whist on a killing spree at the behalf of an unknown shadowy figure who's trying to set the drug world specialities against each other. It'll be The Duke and Susie Glass who set their hearts straight and make them believe in their relationship again, and so they'll win their respective loyalties against said shadowy figure. Parallel to that, Edward and Susie's relationship also evolves. Just one of the narratives, of course. BTW, they, Pierce and Hugh's characters, both end up dead by the end, holding their hands, in love again. Pierce with a serious face, Hugh with a grin. Both cured of their own conditions, by love, through death. Guy, I'm here. Just give me a call. Plenty of more ideas where these came from :)
All joking aside, that’s not bad, is it. And the couple finding their love for each other is a sweet end, but with a nice dash of humour (in their facial expressions).
That’s quite a sweet little story, @Univex … Seriously.
Thanks, @peter, my friend. You do know it's one of my many formal trades, writing, so it's good to know my ideas are appreciated. Cheers :)
Except he wasn't honest and candid. If the reporting is accurate he originally pleased not guilty.

He only pleaded guilty when the park took legal action. If you plead not guilty then change it to 'am guilty' it means you were lying/being misleading in the first place. He took selfies in the restricted area, they were put online, so to plead not guilty was foolish.
This incident doesn't detract from my appreciation of his time as Bond but he did try to deny he did anything wrong at the park and it backfired on him. ;))
That being said, it's wonderful to have fandom who supports you no matter what. A bit of unconditional love by way of distance and ignorance. And yes, I mean me :D
Ignorance is no defence of breaking the law. It’s fine, he did something wrong, he said he didn’t, now it’s sorted, but pretending these people are perfect is silly; they’re just actors.
Oh, this could be very cool.
(And go Bond alumni!)
Yes, this could very well be what Pierce needs right now, and deserves. That cast is impressive.
That's a top cast and crew list, would be cool to see Tom Burke get a bit more global exposure as he's great.
I'm more than down for this.
Me too. Can’t wait! :)
I enjoyed it. Its not big or flashy or trying to be something it isnt. A solid 90 minute action thriller with some good set pieces, performances, and some lighter moments too.
Not sold on Pierce doing a southern american accent, its not to the level of Craig’s anyway.
Absolutely! Always happy to see even a mention of The Matador. It's been an all-timer favorite of mine since its release.
I've noticed that Soderbergh and Spielberg are open Bond fans that often cast Bond alumni. For being a big Bond fan, I'm surprised that Nolan doesn't more often cast Bond alumni. Yes, even without the Bond actors, this does sound promising. Pierce also has done ok as a character actor as well.
Born and raised on the Gulf Coast, and I’ve never heard anything like it. Lol. But hey it’s Pierce , I can suspend my disbelief.

Has anyone seen it who would/wouldn't recommend it? Still one of his only few projects I've not gotten around to.
Talking Pictures TV showed this recently. It is every bit a TV mini-series (by which I mean I found a lot of it very hokey) but there's a fair bit of action and Pierce is good. Go for it!
Will do, thank you!
There are a couple of Bondian connections beyond Brosnan's involvement: John Rhys-Davies has a key supporting role (and his character from TLD, Pushkin, appears in Michael France's original script for GE, so seeing the two actors here is a reminder of the Bond team-up that never happened), plus the mini-series was filmed on-location in Hong Kong and there are references to the impending handover, the focus of early drafts of TND in addition to Raymond Benson's Zero Minus Ten.
I've always thought most of Brosnan's best work was on television. He's terrific in Noble House and (especially) Around the World in 80 Days.
That's very interesting. I'd say I've seen 99% of his films now, it's just the miniseries and TV work that I need to get around to. Even when it premiered, I only saw the first half of his work on Bag of Bones.
