Pierce Brosnan returns to spy genre with The November Man

The November Man is a spy thriller film based on the novel There Are No Spies by Bill Granger, which is canonically the seventh installment in The November Man series of books, published in 1987. It stars Pierce Brosnan, Luke Bracey, and Olga Kurylenko. The film is directed by Roger Donaldson, known for his most notable works Species, The Recruit and The Bank Job.

With a screenplay by Michael Finch & Karl Gajdusek based on Bill Granger’s novel There Are No Spies from the bestselling November Man book series, The November Man is the ultimate cat and mouse game set in the world of international espionage. Directed by Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job, No Way Out, Thirteen Days), the film is produced by Beau St. Clair of Irish Dream Time and Sriram Das of Das Films.

The November Man is a spy thriller, a dark, gritty and realistic story with its roots in spy films of the past. Pierce Brosnan plays Peter Devereaux, a man now living a peaceful life who is reluctantly lured back into his old CIA role for one final mission. Brosnan, who is internationally known for his portrayal of James Bond in the 1990’s, has had plenty of experience in the espionage world.

“There’s nothing black or white about Devereaux, he’s pretty lethal,” says Brosnan. About Devereaux, Director Roger Donaldson says, “he such a tough, ruthless, bleak character that he's been nicknamed ‘The November Man’. The idea is that it's like the onset of winter when everything dies… and Pierce I think really rose to the challenge and does a great job with this character.”

Aussie actor Luke Bracey  plays the role of David Mason. For the young actor, it was not only a privilege to get the chance to work on a high-octane spy thriller, but Luke also got the opportunity to play against one of the greatest spies of all time -  James Bond himself. When asked about acting against Pierce in the film, Luke said, “It was an absolute thrill. I couldn’t believe it at the start when I first got the job but it was great and I felt very fortunate.”

Caught in the middle is Alice, a social worker played by Olga Kurylenko.  Alice is a brave, beautiful, compassionate and insightful woman caught in the middle of other people’s crossfire and forced to trust a complete stranger in Devereaux to protect her.

With growing suspicions of a mole in the agency, there is no one Devereaux can trust, no rules and no holds barred. Marco Bettrarni has composed a soundtrack title Ready or not. So get ready for this action packed film hitting the theatres in India on 29th August 2014.
