Pierce Brosnan to star in Renny Harlin’s The Misfts

February 14, 2019 by Gary Collinson

In a deal coming out of the European Film Market, former 007 Pierce Brosnan has signed on to star in the gold heist thriller The Misfits, which is being directed by action veteran Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, The Long Kiss Goodnight).

According to THR, The Misfits is set mainly in the Middle East, and will see Brosnan playing the renowned criminal Richard Pace, who finds himself caught up in an elaborate gold heist that promises to have far-reaching implications.

“We are extremely excited to have him on board,” said Harlin. “Pierce and I have been friends for many years and have been looking for a project to collaborate on for some time. I could not have hoped for a better actor to play our lead.”
