Where's Pierce?

[IcyCalm]

I thought I'd start this thread to be used whenever we cannot quite locate our dear Pierce. Especially where he drops out of sight like he is now. I do not like to go too long not knowing where our boy is. Maybe someone read an article placing him at such-and-such a place and could mention it here. That would benefit us all in our desire to keep up.

The last official appearance was in Germany to pick up his golden award. Then it was off to London where he failed to show up at both the Irish and British (Baftas) award events due to his step father being ill. That was weeks ago.

I detect a pattern: after 3 back-to-back films he likes to take months off to be with the family in Malibu and Hawaii. He did that with Laws of Attraction, After the Sunset, and the Matador. Now, after Seraphim Falls, Butterfly, and Marriage, I suspect he's resting again. All the while setting up TCA II and apparently this Bizarro movie. (What's his third choice? - he works in threes.)

So enjoy the surf and the kiddies and the kittys and remember your sunscreen, Pierce, if that's what you're up to.

But wait ... today's news article on MSN.com was the mysterious theft of $66M worth of Picassos in Paris France. Hmmmm.... makes one wonder....

He does tend to do films in bunches then take extended time off. Probably because of burn out. MGM last year was shooting for a March start date to TCA 2. But Pierce said he just got the final (as of then script) in late January and no director has been named yet and they need at least a few months on a project before they start filming. I'm hoping for McTiernan again or high profile experienced non hack director.

Spring 96- late Summer 97
Dante's Peak - The Nephew - Tommorow Never Dies

Spring 1998- Summer 99
Grey-Owl-TCA-TWINE (probably the toughest stretch since a Bond film is such a long shoot and there's months of promoiton after as well)

Spring 2000
Tailor of Panama- and here's where the pattern breaks because Sean has his accident, Keely and Pierce got pregnant, and they got married

Fall 2001- Summer 2002
(writers strike and a couple of films he's in can't get started in mid 2001 -- thankfully one of them is the disaster Sound of Thunder) Evelyn-DAD

Summer 2003- Spring 2004
LOA-Sunset-Matador

Fall 2005- Fall 2006 (better spaced out than the previous three and shorter shoots)
Seraphim Falls- Butterfly- Married Life

Of course in between and during he has documentaries, commercials, his continuing charity work and activism and developing and reading for film projects, film promotion etc.

Hopefully his gap between Married Life and his next film is not as long as between Matador and Seraphim Falls or Tailor and Evelyn

As for where he is now? In Hawaii enjoying his family.

If I remember rightly in one of the British newspapers at the weekend there was a picture of Pierce in Hawaii eating some chips (fries) or something silly.

Whether thats recent I haven't a clue?

I'm glad he's able to enjoy some well-deserved privacy.

Agreed. It's probably one of the reasons they now spend so much time in Hawaii. -- far fewer paparrazzi to contend with.

Do I suffer of Pierce withdrawal? Hell yes; but I'm glad he has that getawaii for recharging his batteries after all the hard work. It must be nice for him to be able to wander about with less (hopefully no) papparazzi taking his picture.

I guess that pic is from the end of last december.

The lack of paparazzi in hawaii is what I think make that place more enjoyable for him and his family, expecially the kids....having their dad without don't have to share him and their privacy with anyone else should be priceless for them.

I love that Pierce gets privacy time too with his family. Kauai is just a paradise and must be so restorative to him.
