James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan is returning to the spy genre in a new film project titled A Spy’s Guide to Survival. The film is being directed by Simon Barry, the creator behind Netflix’s supernatural action series Warrior Nun.
Barry is also writing the film, which is based on a story cracked by him and his father, Derek Barry. The project will mark Simon Barry’s feature directing debut.
The film “centers around a reclusive, retired spy who is brought out of hiding by his enigmatic new neighbor, digging up both of their secrets in the process.”
Barry said in a statement: “As a longtime Pierce Brosnan fan, I’m extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside someone I admire for their craft, character and humanity.”
Producer Uri Singer added: “Pierce is the perfect fit for this role, and we are so excited to see what he and Simon will do together.”
This sounds like a great and fun project for Brosnan to jump into! I’ll be looking forward to seeing how this movie turns out.
