Pierce Brosnan will star alongside Owen Wilson in John Erick Dowdle’s The Coup, the Crime Scene Pictures thriller that begins production in October. The film, written by Dowdle and his brother Drew, centers on an American family that moves to Southeast Asia and finds itself entangled in a violent coup where merciless rebels are attacking the city. Brosnan, repped by CAA and attorney Stuart Brookman, will play a mysterious government operative. Crime Scene’s Adam Ripp and Rob Paris are financing and producing with Steve Alexander and Drew Dowdle. Sierra/Affinity is handling international sales beginning next month at Cannes

Good thing that while Pierce's Bond days are over, he still plays someone who works for the government.

And I hope that Pierce doesn't bow out of this project as well as the project itself won't canceled.

FBF, this could be the big break you have been dreaming of for Pierce with espionage the plot Oh baby, here we go

You can forget Thomas Crown 2. It's not going anywhere. This is more interesting. Here we have not only Pierce doing an action flick but also playing someone who works for the government.

THIS must be his best role since Bond with a sequel.

[Dr. No]

Will his role be all that big? Sounds like it could be small

[FormerBondFan]

I think he's more of a co-lead with Owen.
