latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2011/03/pierce-brosnan-susanne-bier-all-love-better-world.htmlPierce Brosnan will collaborate with Oscar winner Susanne Bier March 3, 2011 | 7:08 pm EXCLUSIVE: It's been awhile since we've seen Pierce Brosnan in a romantic comedy -- nearly three years, in fact, since he vied for Meryl Streep's attentions in the romantic musical comedy "Mamma Mia!" In the interim he's dabbled in a lot of other genres: political thriller ("The Ghost Writer"), widower drama ("The Greatest") and religion-themed comedy (the upcoming "Salvation Boulevard.") But Brosnan will return to one of his wheelhouses: He's signed on for a lead role in "All You Need Is Love," the first post-Oscar project for Susanne Bier, who took a statuette for her youth-violence drama "In a Better World" on Sunday. The movie, which Bier wrote with Brosnan in mind, shoots in Amalfi this spring. Although Bier is known mainly for melodrama -- she also directed Danish war weepie "Brothers" and the broken-family picture "Things We Lost in the Fire," her English-language debut -- the filmmaker revealed this week that her new movie is a romance with a more buoyant feel. “It’s a tender story with a much lighter atmosphere than my previous works: Enough with conflicts,” she told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. (Her 2006 Oscar-nominated "After the Wedding," though a drama, did have a few comedic moments.) The paper also said "Love" would center on a Danish family, although given that Brosnan doesn't speak Danish, we're imagining said family will speak English, or the movie will at least be bilingual. Brosnan called the new project a "delightful love story" that mixes the serious and humorous. "It's a comedy -- a love story which has punch and deals with loss and a great love."

blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/archives/2011/03/30/interview_susanne_bier_bemoans_violent_society_and_modern_parenting_for_in_/Snippet from a much longer interview on her Oscar winning film being released in the U.S. Your next film, “All You Need Is Love,†is a romantic comedy with Pierce Brosnan. Can you talk a little bit about that? It’s a little premature to talk about that… but I will say that it is bilingual, partly Danish and partly English. I’m not doing [the romantic comedy] “Which Brings Me To You†anymore, but projects fall apart, it’s unfortunately the process of making films. Some of the ones you what to do, they’re more difficult to pursue or get started.

A confermarlo la produttrice scandinava Vibeke Windeløv Avara informazioni, la Windeløv - nota per aver collaborato assiduamente con Lars Von Trier e per essere tra le promotrici della new wave scandinava - ha solo anticipato che si tratterà di una storia d'amore ambientata tra alcune suggestive località della costiera sorrentina. Tutti gli indizi sembrano comunque portare a ‘All you need is love’, film diretto da Susanne Bier che sarà girato – proprio a partire da maggio - a Sorrento in penisola sorrentina ma anche in costiera amalfitana nella vicina Positano Amalfi Ravello . L’opera, attesa per il 2012, vedrà la partecipazione di Pierce Brosnan, primo attore confermato di quella che le anticipazioni dipingono come una commedia divertente incentrata sulle vicende di una famiglia danese. Storia, questa, che con ogni probabilità si muoverà tra scorci e spazi interessanti sorrentini come Punta del Capo e ‘Villa di Agrippa Postumo’ . ========================================= [Google Translated] Pierce Brosnan 007 hotels in Sorrento Pierce Brosnan 007 hotels in Sorrento in one of the most fascinating in the Campania region, returns to the Cinema in the role of location.

trovacinema.repubblica.it/news/dettaglio/pierce-brosnan-ho-iniziato-con-bond-ma-al-cinema-vorrei-portare-godot/404660GOOGLE TranslationPierce Brosnan: "I started with Bond film but I want Godot" The Irish actor is filming in Sorrento "All You Need Is Love," the new film by Susanne Bier's Oscar winner, a romantic comedy with drama and misunderstandings SORRENTO - "I never imagined enjoying such magnificence," says Pierce Brosnan, and from the terrace of one of the most beautiful villas in Sorrento, admires the intense colors of the sea, the vagaries of the coast, the landscape dominated by Vesuvius in Naples. It is the house where he lived for the filming of All You Need Is Love, the film by Susanne Bier that after the dramatic tones of In a better world, for the foreign film Oscar, has chosen the lightness of a romantic comedy. The film is a co-Denmark-Sweden-Italy (the Lumière by Lionello Cerri) and will be distributed by Theodora. Brosnan plays Philip, the owner of the fruit and vegetable industry with headquarters in Copenhagen, who owns a villa in Sorrento in a large lemon, which returns after many years because that is where his son Patrick has decided to get married to Astrid. The cast Tryne Dyrholm (In a better world) and Italian Ciro Petrone (Gomorrah), is Alexander, who helps the two engaged in preparations for the wedding, but his presence sets off a deep crisis in their marriage and serious doubts about marriage. "I read the script in February, I accepted immediately. I thought of being on the set of a small independent film, then I saw the pictures of the villa they had rented for me and I was speechless, it's a fantastic place, "says Brosnan. His wife, the second after the Australian actress Cassandra Harris died in '91, is a former journalist Keely Smith Shyle, were married in 2001, have two children. A son was born from the union with the Harris and two others had from her previous marriage, Brosnan adopted them. It is true that Susanne Bier wrote the character of Philip thinking of him?"Yes. Maybe he knew my personal history, he knew that I knew Philip. It's a rich man, solitary, from the death of his wife feels betrayed by life, disappointed, angry, devotes himself to work. It is a state of mind I know. To awaken is the encounter with Ida, the mother of Astrid, a hairdresser, a woman who suffers yet continues to love life despite everything, despite the chemotherapy you are receiving for breast cancer - she died of the same my wife - and the discovery that her husband is having an affair. It looks like a dramatic story, but the film is full of misunderstandings, entertainment, comedy and romance. " Philip is a father, you are a father ..."Philip is not a good father, is away from his son, I do not know, approached him only in Sorrento, but it is not easy. I do not like that. I try to be close to my children as much as possible, I miss them when they are away and I miss them. My wife is a fantastic mother and I think I'm a good father. Also because I am a father I never had, he left home when I was little, is one of the turmoil that life has given me. On the other hand I have a wonderful relationship with my mother. " He was born in an Irish village and studied in London. Now he lives in Malibu?"I arrived in America 30 years ago, I owe everything to America. The first James Bond I was offered due to the popularity of TV series that I played in the U.S.. The link with the roots still strong, I often go to Belfast where they are part of a charity that helps young people to make films, I have a house in Wimbledon and London I often go to visit my older sons. " With Polanski has played an almost Tony Blair."Almost, indeed. Working with Roman was an unforgettable experience, is one of the great masters, with him everything seems easy. We spent hours talking about many things, little film. When I asked if I was in The Ghost Writer Tony Blair, he replied "No, you make your first minister, an isolated man, who hates the world." Then there was the identification and Blair could not have been pleasant. But he has shown reactions, has shown great sense of humor. " It is true that you are a skilled fire eater?"Very true. While studying in London I worked in a circus and I've learned, it is not difficult. Now I perform for children. They have fun, but laugh more when they see me singing and dancing in Mamma Mia! They say I'm a mess and they are right. They are denied for the musical, I remember the fear on the set. Fortunately, even Stellan Skarsgard and Colin Firth were terrified as me. We became very good friends. " When he found the desire to become an actor?"It seems strange but the first movie I saw was Goldfinger, Sean Connery has impressed me. Then I saw Brando, Montgomery Clift, Clint Eastwood, my job was to be the one. So I went to America and I had much luck. I like success, but his career is a constant challenge, we must not settle or lose a part of insecurity. " Among the last of his characters are her husband of Jessica Parker But how do you do?, A fanatical preacher in the Salvation Boulevard. And after?"Nothing is decided, but I recently reread" Waiting for Godot "and I'd do it but in a version for the film, not theater. For now my plans have nothing to do theater, too repetitive, or directed, too tiring. In addition to film and the craft of his father, the only passion is writing. I would not mind a debut as a writer, sooner or later will happen. "
