Pierce Brosnan to co-star with Angelina Jolie

Brosnan and Jolie for 'Thomas Crown' Sequel
It’s full speed on the long-gestating “Thomas Crown Affair” follow-up, “The Topkapi Affair” with word in this evening that casting has begun on the Pierce Brosnan starring movie.
In the movie, Brosnan’s Thomas Crown will be after the Kasikci Diamond which is kept in the Topkapi palace in Istanbul.
"The film will shoot on location in Turkey, with many local actors – and extras – required for the pre-strike shoot", says our scooper.
We’re told the script is fantastic. It’s based on the book Light of Day and “will please fans of the first movie but also newcomers to the series”.
Brosnan knows this is his shot at creating a new long-running character so he’s gone all out on making it as good as it can be - it seems.
Also, Angelina Jolie has finally reached a deal to play Pierce Brosnan’s leading lady in the movie.
I love Jolie. I think she’s great. And let’s admit, she’s got a lot more up there than the foxy Rene Russo – who was topless for half of the first movie – does, so if they’re thinking of getting her kit off for the film (and no doubt they are), they’re going to need extra big buckets at the theatre. It’ll be explosive, to say the least. Having said that, Ms Pitt has had a string of rotten eggs lately (what was that last one? “A Mighty Heart”?), so she’s probably not exactly the casting coup the film - which nobody seemed keen on financing there for a while - needs.
Still, I can see Brosnan and Jolie together. It could just work... especially if the script is as strong as we're told it is.

Sounds great. I think he is going to prove his nay sayers wrong about him. He already got one on the best gets in the movie business to star with him.. I wonder how much action he is going to pack in?

They need to start filming this.
Re: Pierce Brosnan to co-star with Angelina Jolie
All I'be been able to find (courtesy of Wikipedia) is "later this year". Unfortunately, Paul Verhoeven is directing. Oh well, some of Verhoeven's films (Robocop, Starship Troopers) have managed to be good, in spite of their director.FormerBondFan wrote:When is Thomas Crown 2 going to start filming?

Starship Troopers is definitely a good one from Paul and so is Robocop.Kristatos wrote:Oh well, some of Verhoeven's films (Robocop, Starship Troopers) have managed to be good, in spite of their director.
