The Love Punch
Pierce Brosnan is set to team up with Emma Thompson for new comedy The Love Punch.
The Love Punch marks the first time that Brosnan and Thompson have joined forces, and they are set to make a great comedy team.
The Love Punch is one of the British movies of 2014 that I am looking forward to checking out, and here is a fab new exclusive clip to whet your appetite:
Thompson may not have worked with Brosnan before, but she knows director Joel Hopkins well.
The pair worked together for the first time on Last Chance Harvey, and Hopkins is in the director's chair for the first time since then.
His writing skills are also on show again with The Love Punch, as he has penned the screenplay once again.
As if Thompson and Brosnan was not exciting enough, The Love Punch will also star Timothy Spall, Celia Imrie and up and coming star Tuppence Middleton.
Spanning locations in Paris, London and the French Riviera The Love Punch brings together Pierce Brosnan (Mamma Mia) and Emma Thompson (Saving Mr Banks) for the first time, as ex-husband and wife Richard and Kate whose biting banter suggests that the flames of their former relationship have not been fully extinguished...
Unfortunately the same cannot be said for their retirement nest egg which is wiped out when Richard’s investment firm is defrauded and the pension fund is siphoned away.
Learning that the unscrupulous French financier behind the scheme has just purchased a $10million diamond for his bride to be, the divorced duo grudgingly agree to set aside their differences, and hatch a plot to gate-crash the wedding and steal the rock.
Roped in to assist in the heist are the couple’s former neighbours Timothy Spall (The King’s Speech) and Celia Imrie (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) who are also rooting for their reconciliation.
The foursome form an unlikely band of lawbreakers in this classic comedy caper set against the sun drenched backdrop of the Cote d’Azur.
The Love Punch is released 18th April.
