November Reign With this month’s The November Man, Pierce Brosnan is back as a big-screen spy just as deadly—and charming—as ever Throughout the years, Pierce Brosnan’s blown up dozens of buildings, seduced countless femme fatales and killed off enough bad guys to have single-handedly kept the bullet industry in the black. But according to the 61-year-old actor, he’s not nearly as deadly as we’d all like to believe. “I just wish I was as cool as they are,” Brosnan says, referring to the unflappable operatives he’s so memorably played throughout the years. “If I got into a fight in a bar, I’d miss the dude by miles, I wouldn’t know how to connect. It would be a comedy.” That may be the case, but when it comes to Brosnan’s most recent on-screen antics, rest assured they’re all action. The November Man, out August 27, finds Brosnan playing Peter Devereaux, a retired CIA agent who’s called away from his quiet life by a lake to work one last operation. When it becomes apparent that things aren’t what they seem and nobody’s who he claims to be, Devereaux—whose habit of leaving nothing living in his path gives the film its name—ends up being the only guy with what it takes to save the day and, of course, get the girl. It’s not a new story, but it’s one that resonates with Brosnan, who optioned author Bill Granger’s book to make this film five years ago and served behind the camera as an executive producer. “I thought it had complexity and it was a good fit for me as a character to play, having been away from the spy game for some time,” Brosnan says. “All the ingredients were well balanced—the writing, the characterization and the story.” And, of course, it didn’t hurt to have as the star the man who spent four films playing the most famous spy of them all: James Bond. “To me, Pierce’s most successful roles have been in movies like The Matador, The Tailor of Panama and the Bond films,” says director Roger Donaldson. “Those characters have all had sort of an edge to them.” Still, Brosnan says he wasn’t necessarily looking to take another turn as an international man of mystery. “It comes with a certain anxiety,” he says. “But every job does, really. You want to get it right, you want it to be good. I believe strongly that we did get it right, and we did make it good. Now it’s just out of my control.” And while Brosnan himself keeps very busy—he’s made seven movies in the past two years—he does admit to identifying with Deveraux’s retired spy getting back in the saddle. Or sports car as the case may be. “Of course there are certain parallels, and there’s a certain element of danger to it,” he says. “This character is a fellow who has been away from the game for a long time, so we used all of the ingredients of my life. I nourished that with my own trepidation about going back to a genre which I’m well-known for.” Well-known might be an understatement. From 1995 through 2002, Brosnan played James Bond in four well-received films—GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day—and to this day embodies the legendary spy for millions of moviegoers. And while Brosnan has moved on, ceding the role to Daniel Craig and finding continued success in other films, some fans still have trouble letting go. ‘That role is a gift that keeps giving in many respects,” Brosnan says. “I resist any negative feelings or tension as it’s such an iconic role. I think there’s space for people who enjoyed my work as Bond to enjoy this film and see the guy I once was play the guy I am now.” It’s no small feat, especially considering the circumstances under which the film was made. In 2013, during filming, Brosnan’s daughter Charlotte lost her three-year battle with ovarian cancer. “In the middle of making this film, Pierce went through a personal tragedy and it was a very tough time,” Donaldson says. “He was taking the movie very seriously but he was also deeply affected by what was going on in his life. I was very impressed by how he was able to give his family the time he needed to but to give the film time as well. I’m sure it was very challenging for him, but for me the quality of his work never wavered.” Delivering his best is something the actor says he’s committed to for every project he takes on, whether it’s another spy film or the upcoming series he’s developing for Spike TV about the Crusades. “The tick of the clock and time is constant, and I feel very good for these days and this time,” he says. “There’s work to be done, and it’s about keeping up and trying to stay at the table as long as you can.”   Shirt, $88, J.CREW, jcrew.com.

I don't know you guys, but GoldenEye is seriously the most overrated of all the works Pierce has done. The problem is not the movie itself but rather due to the fact that since after his Bond debut, either his talents were underused or his works (especially the great ones he did) were overlooked or both.

www.vanityfair.fr/culture/cinema/articles/pierce-brosnan-19-ans-je-voulais-un-long-manteau-comme-brando-/23460This article was translated from the original French by Google Translate Pierce Brosnan: "At 19, I wanted a long coat like Brando"
Pierce Brosnan talks about his admiration for the player in Last Tango in Paris , which was the origin of his vocation.
By Clelia Cohen This is Marlon Brando , his glowing and unrivaled presence in film, inspired me to want to take acting lessons when I was young. I loved as Al Pacino . Although very different from Brando, he came out of the same school, the Actors Studio, where my curiosity: the idea that the actor had to use its own buried feelings, memories, to breathe life to its role and character concealed a mystery that I wanted to explore. It was called "the method". Since my distant England where I lived (I arrived from Ireland at the age of 11 years), it had all the appeal of a seductive cult. I was 19 when came out Last Tango in Paris by Bernardo Bertolucci . I went into this movie by chance. A shock, I have no other word. The film was released very deep emotions, he entered into resonance with the young man that I was, who discovered her sexuality together the world of literature and art. I wanted a long fluffy coat camel hair like Brando! I wanted to wander Paris, walk with Maria Schneider under the bridge of Bir Hakeim. I love everything in this film. Brando was at its peak which was the always: to have the courage to play a sexual being, an absolute macho, while not being afraid to let shine through some vulnerability. A crack. This is what I have always tried to search my characters until the later, the ex-CIA agent I play in The November Man . My grandfather, a good old Irish, had a passion for Spencer Tracy . Initially, I did not understand what he found him. It was only much later, on seeing his films, especially A man went to John Sturges [released in 1955], I realized Tracy had exactly the same DNA as Brando. It was "a real man", as they say, but he was not afraid to reveal a certain fragility. In the 1950s, when Tracy was at the top and Marlon Brando began, men were supposed to be cast in a single block of granite. In their own way, they made this move. At 19, I've registered myself in a London drama school. The cinema was still a sweet dream flashing at the back of my brain, I felt that I first had to follow a classical training. Pretty soon I found myself in a production of Tennessee Williams , The Red Devil Battery Sign . It was not a very good play, but his prose was simply wonderful. And above all, I had the opportunity to spend time with him, the great Tennessee Williams, author of A Streetcar Named Desire , which was so important to Brando, exactly! It was of course, he appreciated my work and even wrote an additional stage for my role. The opening night, I found a telegram on my way home: "Thank god for you my dear boy. Love, Tennessee Williams. " I think it's reasonable to say that that evening my vocation was born. » - Interview by Clelia Cohen The November Man Roger Donaldson with Pierce Brosnan Article published in issue 18 of Vanity Fair France (December 2014)

www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-02-17/pierce-brosnan-idris-elba-would-make-a-good-james-bondPierce Brosnan: Idris Elba would make a good James Bond
The retired 007 also thinks former Strictly contestant Colin Salmon would make a fine double agentBy Madeleine Ptacin Tuesday 17 February 2015 at 11:00AM Pierce Brosnan claims not to have given "one thought" to who will replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond. "Daniel has made his mark gloriously," the Hollywood veteran tells Radio Times. Asked whether Luther star Idris Elba would make a good Bond, Brosnan continues, "Yeah, he would actually. Colin Salmon also. May the best man get the job and may Daniel bring home the bacon for as long as he wants." Brosnan, 61, also says he'll be rooting for Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne at Sunday's Oscars ceremony. Both British hopefuls are up for the best actor gong. "They are just great actors – glorious young men who are exhilarating to watch; they have great strength of character and humility and grace. When someone like that comes on the stage you can't help but root for them." The Irish actor is interviewed as part of Radio Times' art special – this week's cover features three paintings of Benedict Cumberbatch in the style of Andy Warhol, Rembrandt and Van Gogh. When he's not filming, Brosnan can be found in front of an easel, a hobby he took up for solace after his first wife died of ovarian cancer in 1991. Now, Brosnan says he paints for pleasure and encourages everyone to find a creative outlet. “I think we should all paint, we should all sing, we should all dance, we should all have an artistic life and celebrate it. I have been an actor all my life and a quiet painter all my life. I reap the benefit from my own stumblings in the dark. It’s just a lovely balance to being an actor, to being in front of a production crew of 60-100 people and all the time being observed, judged.” Read the full interview with Pierce Brosnan in this week's Radio Times magazine, on sale from Tuesday 17th February.
