Pierce Brosnan reunited with three special costars 25 years after filming one of his most beloved films.
The actor, 65, appeared in a special photograph in which he reunited with his Mrs. Doubtfire costars Matthew Lawrence, Mara Wilson and Lisa Jakub.
Pierce Brosnan says he wants a few more swings of the bat — to ‘shut them up’. What is there to do but stand back and watch?
They say that mighty oaks from little acorns grow. Unfortunately, the world today seems determined to convince us of the opposite, that those in positions of power demean those positions through their behaviour, showing all the tactful aplomb of my one-and-a-half-year-old facing down broccoli. The stories that back up this old maxim can embolden even the most afraid, determine the hopeless, and unveil courage where it is least likely to be found. The capacity to inspire is one that leads to glorious buildings, to gallant victories, and will provoke change in even the most entrenched thinking.
Pierce Brosnan really is somewhat of a double agent.
The former James Bond star, 65, who was trained as a commercial artist and worked as an illustrator, just auctioned off one of his original paintings for $1.4 million. Brosnan donated the piece, depicting the singer Bob Dylan, for the 25th annual gala amFAR Cannes charity event, Cinema Against AIDS on May 17.
Okay, so let me tell you what happens when your phone rings and the voice on the other end of the line belongs to Pierce Brosnan: You’re done. That’s it. He’s yours. I never want to hear any other voice on the phone ever again. If the phone rings again and it’s my mom on the other end of the line, I will be secretly crushed that it’s not Pierce Brosnan (sorry, mom). The voice is unmistakable: an Irish lilt softened over decades of living here in America, resulting in an accent that is entirely Brosnan’s own. Trying to replicate it would be like trying to make a Serrano ham in Jacksonville. It can’t be done. One “hello” is all he requires to reduce you to a swooning grandmother. Even the man’s scandals are debonair.
Production has started on the second season of The Son, AMC’s western epic based on Philipp Meyer’s New York Times best-selling and Pulitzer Prize finalist novel and starring Pierce Brosnan.
With production underway in Austin, Texas, the broadcaster has confirmed that Brosnan and fellow series regulars Jacob Lofland (Young Eli), Henry Garrett (Pete McCullough), Paola Nunez (Maria Garcia), Zahn McClarnon (Toshaway), Jess Weixler (Sally McCullough), David Wilson Barnes (Phineas McCullough), Sydney Lucas (Jeannie McCullough), James Parks (Niles Gilbert) and Elizabeth Frances (Prairie Flower) will all return.
We’re not talking GoldenEye replays when we say that there’s going to be more Pierce Brosnan on AMC as the home of The Walking Dead today gave a second season pick-up to The Son. Coming just over a month after the Western series based on Philipp Meyer’s 2013 Texas oil county novel of the same name debuted, Season 2 of The Son will consist of 10 episodes and is scheduled to premiere in mid-2018.

“MY FATHERLY INSTINCTS ARE PURELY MY OWN. THEY RELATE BACK TO NO ONE, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE.”
Even now, after months of collaboration with Pierce Brosnan on location in and around Austin, Texas, Philipp Meyer — author of The Son and executive producer/co-creator of the new AMC series — sounds very much like a man who cannot believe his good fortune.
For the character Eli McCullough, Meyer knew he would require an actor who could do intimate intensity in one scene, play hearty bonhomie in the next, and then turn on a dime to Old Testament fury. He wanted someone charismatic and accomplished. But given the tight schedules endemic to series television, he knew he had to have a dedicated team player.
