The film tells the story of an ex-CIA operative who is brought back on a personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high-level US officials and the Russian president-elect.

'Dante's Peak' filmmaker Roger Donaldson is on board to direct while there are hopes to turn the movie into a franchise through Pierce's production company Irish DreamTime.

"'November Man' has been a labour of love for both me and my company. I'm looking forward to working with The Solution and reuniting with both Roger and Dominic as we prepare to make a great film," Brosnan said. He and Cooper previously worked together on 'Mamma Mia'.u00a0
