Pierce Brosnan is to team up with fellow Irishman, director John Moore (‘A Good Day to Die Hard’), for his new film, ‘I.T.’. Voltage Films set John Moore to direct and William Wisher Jr. to rewrite the new thriller.
In ‘I.T.’, Brosnan will play a successful publisher whose relationship with a young I.T. consultant takes a bad turn. He soon finds the former friend is using technology to threaten not his family, business, and life.
Moore most recently helmed A Good Day To Die Hard and has been attached to ‘The Hunters’. Wisher’s credits include ‘Terminator 2’ and ‘Live Free Or Die Hard’. Brosnan’s recent credits include ‘The November Man’, ‘A Long Way Down’ and ‘The Love Punch’.
The film will be produced by Friendly Films’ David T. Friendly, Voltage’s Craig Flores and Nicolas Chartier and Brosnan’s Irish Dreamtime partner Beau St. Clair. Wisher will be co-exec producer and Peter Veverka will be co-producer. They are currently casting the other male lead, the I.T. nemesis, and will go into production in the fall.
Friendly hatched the idea and developed it with Dan Kay, who wrote the original draft.
Irish director John Moore debuted at Fox with ‘Behind Enemy Lines’ and made his next four films at the studio. He also directed ‘Flight of the Phoenix’, ‘The Omen’ (2003), and ‘Max Payne’.
