Pierce Brosnan is set to star in Youth, the feature film directorial debut from writer/director Brett Marty based on his 2016 short of the same name. Marty, Josh Izenberg and Amelia Whitcomb co-wrote the film adaptation, which is being produced by Jib Polhemus, Paul Schiff, and Martin Brennan.
The pic is set in a future not far from now, where “Renewal” has become the world’s hottest (and most expensive) commodity — a procedure to rewind your body’s biological clock back to its prime. Joel (Brosnan), an ad-tech engineer, is about to retire at age 70, after a lengthy career. Not wanting to lose him, his company pays for him and his wife Alice to Renew — a luxury promising a second chance. Alice emerges from the operation in her 20s, but for Joel, the procedure goes tragically wrong. Rather than make him younger, his aging begins accelerating rapidly, and his remaining years evaporate into mere weeks. Trapped in a decaying body, and watching his 45-year marriage disintegrate, Joel becomes desperate enough to force another, more dangerous procedure. Uncovering the dark origins of the technology along the way, Joel must somehow stay alive long enough to reveal to the world what is happening, before it is too late.

And alas, it has been removed from Colin Salmon's page too. I really was looking forward to seeing them work together again. Briefly, Colin was listed as appearing in Fast Charlie but just as quickly he was removed.
I noticed H-Block is gone again too as being in development. I wonder if IMDB will no longer list films "in development" and will now only list films in pre-production.

Not certain when this definition became official:
What does IMDb in development mean? Details on projects which are in development and have not yet been announced are only available to IMDbPro members. For the most part IMDb only shows details about films that have been completed and released, or are in active production.
