Pierce Brosnan lands lead role in `The November Man`

The news keeps on getting better for Pierce Brosnan following his exit from the James Bond role. Variety reports that Brosnan will star in The November Man, a thriller based on the Bill Granger novel "There Are No Spies" in his "November Man" series.

Coldly effective but suspicious American spy-runner Hanley inadvertently fouls up a deeply embedded Russian mole's scenario when he warns "sleeping" agent Devereaux ("November") that something has gone amiss in R Section. Rudely forced out of retirement in Lausanne by two hit men, the calm, collected, and utterly cynical Devereaux enlists the aid of former contacts in determining the truth of Hanley's allegation.

A script is in progress and shooting is planned in 2006.

Thanks to `Stratus` & `M J Balje` for the alerts.
