Pierce Brosnan and Helena Bonham Carter to unite for George Bernard Shaw-inspired romcom
'Not Bloody Likely' is set to be directed by Joel Hopkins - who collaborated with Brosnan previously on 'The Love Punch.'
Pierce Brosnan and Helena Bonham Carter are posed to team up for a new romantic comedy, which takes its inspiration from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion.
Brosnan and Carter will make an unlikely pair in a new romantic comedy, titled Not Bloody Likely.
It tells the true story of a 1914 production of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, the play that would eventually inspire the award-winning musical My Fair Lady, starring Audrey Hepburn.
The Irish actor will play Shaw in the new movie as he tries to convince actress Pat Campbell (Bonham Carter) to play the role of Eliza Doolittle, while their past romance rekindles in the meantime.
The film will be from the point of view of a young production assistant who has the job of finding a “real” Flower Girl to help Campbell become Eliza.
Not Bloody Likely producers Adam Rolston and David Braithwaite said: "This is exactly the kind of film the world needs right now.
"A feel-good story that will make you laugh and make you cry for the right reasons."
Pierce Brosnan recently starred in Eurovision Song Contest alongside Rachel McAdams and Will Ferrell, and stars in Cinderella with Camilla Cabello in his upcoming projects.
Helena Bonham Carter stars as Princess Margaret in The Crown season 4 on Netflix.
