The Love Punch
Love Punch promises to be a comedy movie not to miss this spring as Emma Thompson teams up with Pierce Brosnan for the first time.
The movie has been written and directed by Joel Hopkins, as he reunites with Emma Thompson for the first time since Last Chance Harvey.
This is Hopkins first film project since Last Chance Harvey, and only this third directorial outing.
A great cast has been assembled for the film, as Tuppence Middleston, Timothy Middleton and Celia Imrie are all also on board.
Spanning locations in Paris, London and the French Riviera The Love Punch brings together Pierce Brosnan (Mamma Mia) and Emma Thompson (Saving Mr Banks) for the first time, as ex-husband and wife Richard and Kate whose biting banter suggests that the flames of their former relationship have not been fully extinguished...
Unfortunately the same cannot be said for their retirement nest egg which is wiped out when Richard’s investment firm is defrauded and the pension fund is siphoned away.
Learning that the unscrupulous French financier behind the scheme has just purchased a $10million diamond for his bride to be, the divorced duo grudgingly agree to set aside their differences, and hatch a plot to gate-crash the wedding and steal the rock.
Roped in to assist in the heist are the couple’s former neighbours Timothy Spall (The King’s Speech) and Celia Imrie (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) who are also rooting for their reconciliation.
The foursome form an unlikely band of lawbreakers in this classic comedy caper set against the sun drenched backdrop of the Cote d’Azur.
The Love Punch is released 18th April.
