Vanilla Gorilla

Pierce Brosnan remains a busy man in his post-James Bond life. His next film is "Vanilla Gorilla," about (you guessed it) an albino gorilla. Not only that, the gorilla develops the ability to use sign language, and communicates with a girl.

Directed by Irishman Terry Loane ("Mickybo & Me"), "Vanilla Gorilla" is scheduled for a 2009 release.

The Greatest

Meanwhile, Brosnan is currently shooting "The Greatest," a drama also starring Susan Sarandon. The film (which marks the directing debut of screenwriter Shana Feste) explores the heartache of a family which lost one child and is trying to keep another sane.

Brosnan's Irish DreamTime is one of the producers of "The Greatest," which is shooting now in several locations around New York State.

The Thomas Crown Affair sequel

It's not all arty family drama for Brosnan these days. He still knows how to make a good shoot-em-up action picture. Down the road, he will appear in a sequel to "The Thomas Crown Affair."
