The 54-year-old Irish actor will begin making the “The Topkari Affair” beginning in January under the direction of Paul Verhoeven (“Black Book”, “Total Recall”). Brosnan reprises the part of the wealthy and charismatic businessman who enjoys stealing priceless paintings for his personal enjoyment. In the follow-up Thomas Crown ventures to Istanbul to steal a diamond from the royal palace while also falling for another beautiful woman. Rene Russo starred opposite Brosnan in the first film but will not be returning for the sequel.

Brosnan is finishing up working on a movie version of “Mamma Mia!”, the popular stage play that uses the music of ABBA. That film will be released in July of 2008.
