Pierce Brosnan has written an open letter to fans on his official website updating them on his plans for future feature film projects:

My apologies for not updating you on what's happening in and around my life. I'm vacationing with my family right now... summer is here and we're making the most of it!

Where to begin? Having decided last year to take a good chunk of time off to spend with my precious family, and then being particular about what projects came my way, and then setting sail on one film only for it to fall apart... I am now eager to get back to work. As my acting teacher used to say "nothing comes from nothing."

The Matador will be released on November 18, after traveling through various festivals including events in Deauville and Toronto. The reaction to the film from the studio and members of the press has been very favorable. We will post a schedule as to my personal appearances during the press junket.

Irish DreamTime is in full swing with two projects at the moment. The first is a thriller called Butterfly on a Wheel, which I would very much like to make in San Francisco after the summer. We have been working on this script for months, and we all feel it has great potential.

In the New Year we are hoping to co-produce a film called The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, in partnership with Mr. Danny DeVito and Mr. Morgan Freeman. Some of you may know the title from the book of the same name, it's a very fine story by a writer named Avi. Danny has done an excellent job at adapting the book, a period piece set in 1832, and is also going to direct the film; we are trying to persuade him to appear in the picture as well.

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
