Former James Bond franchise star Pierce Brosnan is set to co-star in the thriller "Bonded" with his son, Sean Brosnan, who will also produce.

Mo Ramchandani ("Devil's Creek") will direct from his own screenplay, which is based on true events that took place in El Monte, Calif. in the early '90s.

The "Oliver Twist"-esque story follows a Mexican teenager named Jesus who, after the death of his mother, is sold by his father and smuggled into America, where he's forced to work as a bonded slave laborer in a Los Angeles sweatshop.

While imprisoned there, he befriends a young woman named Elena. But when she is claimed by a sex trafficker, Jesus must make a daring escape in order to rescue her.

Ramchandani tells TheWrap that both Brosnans will be playing cops in the movie.

The filmmaker, who grew up in London with Sean Brosnan, is in the process of casting the male lead.

"I want to make movies that not only entertain people, but also empower, educate and inspire them," said Ramchandani, a principal of Avatar Entertainment Group.

Joe Dain ("Gardens of the Night") will also produce the project, while Pierce Brosnan and Beau St. Clair of Irish DreamTime are expected to serve as executive producers. Production is scheduled to begin in September.

Pierce Brosnan is represented by CAA, while Sean Brosnan is represented by Independent Talent Group and Alchemy Entertainment. Gersh represents Dain.

Pierce Brosnan to team up with son Sean
Friday, June 25, 2010, 14:50 [IST]

London (ANI): For the first time, former James Bond 007 star Pierce Brosnan will team up with his actor son Sean for the big screen. Pierce, 57, will star in big-budget movie 'Bonded' alongside the 26-year-old. The duo will play police officers in pursuit of a Mexican teenager smuggled into the US as a sweatshop worker.

Mo Ramchandani, a childhood friend of Brosnan junior, will direct the actors, who are also the executive producers of the flick. "Pierce and Sean always said that they would find a project to work on together and this movie was seen as ideal. They have lots of screen time together, so it's going to be a very special film for both of them," the Daily Express quoted a source as telling.


According to this article, it said that Bonded is a big-budget movie. Does that mean this movie is going to be a megablockbuster? Pierce hasn't had an excellent megablockbuster since GoldenEye. Mamma Mia may be enjoyable, but his singing was the weakest link.

This source is the only one I recall calling it "big budget:" and they might have to do with it being from India. This is the director's first full film and it's being produced outs side a studio so I'd assume it's a small budgeted indie and considering the subject matter it should be a small budget.

Since Pierce's departure from Bond, I've been hoping all these years he will have a definite blockbuster......one that will strike SUPER GOLD, not only excellent reviews but also huge box office returns (especially here in the US where he gain his popularity) as well. He may not need this but he totally deserve it big time. I want to see him go more diverse in the mainstream cinema, and that includes the action genre. Plus, I don't want Bond to be only the known blockbuster role he plays.
