Brosnan, Cooper to Star in NOVEMBER MAN

Pierce Brosnan's Production Company Irish DreamTime has entered into a multi-picture financing and distribution deal with The Solution Entertainment Group ("The Solution"), it was announced by The Solution's co-founders and partners Lisa Wilson and Myles Nestel and Irish DreamTime's Brosnan and partner Beau St. Clair.

The first film under the deal is the espionage action-thriller NOVEMBER MAN starring Brosnan (THE GHOST WRITER, THE MATADOR) and Dominic Cooper (THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE, MY WEEK WITH MARILYN), directed by Roger Donaldson (THE BANK JOB) from a script by Michael Finch (PREDATORS) & KARL GAJDUSEK (TRESPASS).

Based on the book There Are No Spies by Bill Granger, NOVEMBER MAN is the first film from a series of beloved espionage novels and is being developed as a franchise opportunity. Beau St. Clair is producing alongside Sriram Das of Das Films, who jointly developed the script. Dino Conte is executive producing.

NOVEMBER MAN tells the tale of an ex-CIA operative who is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect. The film is scheduled to start shooting in October on location in Berlin.

The Solution is arranging the financing and handling international distribution for NOVEMBER MAN. CAA, which represents Brosnan, Cooper, and Donaldson, brokered the deal on behalf of Irish DreamTime. CAA also represents the U.S. distribution rights to NOVEMBER MAN.

"Myles and Lisa are great partners for us as filmmakers and share our vision for these films," St. Clair said. "Their extensive creative and financial experience enables our projects to maximize their full potential. We all believe that the Bill Granger novels and the character of Devereaux feel like the perfect vehicle for Pierce."

"November Man has been a labor of love for both me and my company," Brosnan added. "I'm looking forward to working with The Solution, and reuniting with both Roger and Dominic as we prepare to make a great film."

One of the most internationally recognized actors today, Brosnan has starred in blockbuster hits like THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, MAMA MIA! and four James Bond films. He's also starred in critical favorites like Roman Polanksi's THE GHOST WRITER, John Borman's THE TAILOR OF PANAMA, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for his turn in THE MATADOR.
