The Love Punch
Pierce Brosnan has a busy start to 2014 with a couple of movies set for release, The Love Punch is just one of them.
The Love Punch sees the actor return to comedy as he teams up with director Joel Hopkins.
This is the third feature film for Hopkins, after Jump Tomorrow and Last Chance Harvey; he has also penned the screenplay for the film.
We have the brand new trailer for the film for you to take a look at:
An all star cast has been assembled for the film as Brosnan is joined by Emma Thompson, Timothy Spall, Tuppence Middleton and Celia Imrie are also on board.
This is the second collaboration between Thompson and director Hopkins, after the Oscar winning actress worked with him on Last Chance Harvey.
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.
