Across the River and Into the Trees will be produced by Robert MacLean, John Smallcombe, Kirstin Roegner, and Claudia Bluemhuber and executive produced by William J. Immerman. In case it wasn’t clear, Campbell will direct and Brosnan will star as the aging military officer. Shooting is expected to begin this fall in Venice.
Campbell and Brosnan are actually currently in the midst of shooting a different project together. Titled The Foreigner, the revenge thriller stars Jackie Chan as a London Chinatown restaurant owner whose daughter has been killed by Irish terrorists. When the justice system fails him, he’s forced to take vengeance into his own hands. Brosnan plays an IRA member who is now a government official.
Campbell ushered in two Bonds — Brosnan with GoldenEye and Daniel Craig with Casino Royale — and last directed the comic book franchise non-starter Green Lantern. Since then he’s directed a handful of TV pilots including Last Resort, Warriors, and Reckless. Brosnan’s eclectic recent output includes the thrillers The November Man and No Escape and the comedies Some Kind of Beautiful and The World’s End.
