Lion, Brosnan repact
Shingle's upcoming projects include 'Crown' sequel, 'Mexicali'
|
Company, which produced the drama "Evelyn" for the Lion's United Artists division as well as the 1999 remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair," is developing several Brosnan vehicles at the studio, including "The Thomas Crown Affair 2" and the actioner "Mexicali."
Brosnan is expected to return for a fifth outing as British secret agent James Bond. The 21st pic in MGM's spy series is being readied for a November 2005 release.
"Obviously, we have a great relationship with Pierce from the Bond films," said Chris McGurk, MGM's vice chairman and chief operating officer. "But he and Beau are very talented producers as well, and we're excited to continue our work with them in that capacity. They have some great projects in the works."
Outside of MGM, Irish DreamTime is producing thriller "The Matador" with Stratus Films. Pic, in which Brosnan will star, is gearing up to start lensing in Mexico.
Thesp will next appear in New Line's romantic comedy "Laws of Attraction," opposite Julianne Moore. Irish DreamTime is also a producer on the pic.
Company will remain based at MGM's Santa Monica offices.
"MGM has been our home for a while now, and we've developed great relationships with the production and marketing teams," St. Clair said. "We're really pleased to continue our partnership with the studio and look forward to working on more good movies for both MGM and United Artists."
