Around The World In 80 Days

Post by carl stromberg »

I was searching for info on a few films today and came across some bits on an 80's version of Around The World In 80 Days with Pierce playing fogg. Has anyone seen it? It sounds quite good fun.

Favorite Bond Movie: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible, Kingsman: The Secret Service and The November Man or any upcoming actioners starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good since it will help him expand his reputation as an actor especially in the action realm)

It looks better than Jackie Chan's version.

The Jackie Chan version had a good cast and looked great, but it was a bit uninspired and deviated from the Jules Verne story quite a bit!

That DVD cover looks like a bad Photoshop job, but I've checked the IMDb and the miniseries is real.
