Amy Adams, Pierce Brosnan back on the big screen
Posted by Kathy RowingsOur L.A. reporters have been movie-watching machines, and they offer their insight about two more soon-to-be-released films below. Both open in March and star many well-known actors. Check out what they've got to say about the upcoming film starring Amy Adams, Frances McDormand and newcomer Lee Pace, and be and be sure to scroll all the way down to get the report on the project starring Chris Cooper, Pierce Brosnan and Rachel McAdams.
"Last year’s Oscar nominee for Junebug, Amy Adams made another splash in the recent Enchanted. Next she plays a flibbertigibbet in 1930s London in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Oscar winner Frances McDormand plays the title character, a British governess, who inadvertently organizes Adams’ life. But Adams is the reason to see the film. She’s so irresponsible and delectable you’ve got to love her. Look out for Pushing Daisies' Lee Pace, a poor but handsome piano player you want her to wind up with. Adams could well be a presenter at this year’s Oscars—assuming the writers’ strike gets settled—and McDormand is likely to be there on the arm of her husband, No Country for Old Men co-writer and co-director Joel Coen, whose film is up for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editor (under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes).
Then there's Married Life. Recently seen as master spy Robert Hanssen in Breach, Chris Cooper is up to his elbows in skullduggery again in this suspenseful comedy co-starring Pierce Brosnan and Rachel McAdams. Again Cooper keeps it all inside as he navigates between his adoring wife (Patricia Clarkson) and an equally adoring mistress (McAdams) — until Brosnan decides to stir the pot a little. It’s a delicious comedy of manners set in pre-Mad Men 1949. My, they do puff on those cancer sticks."

I'm curious if anyone can answer this question. About a year ago there was a story of Pierce Brosnan having a half sister. From the story, I gathered that Mr.Brosnan dismissed the woman's requests for a DNA, and he told the press "no comment" when asked if she was his sister. If the man was a politician or a public official; the press would never have let it go with a "no comment". So I'm curious as to why they seem to let Mr.Brosnan off the hook. Does the press know? That same woman is often seen in the same places as Mr. Brosnan in Malibu. While they don't talk to each other, they do acknowledge each others presence, with a nod or whatever.He doesn't treat the woman like a criminal or a stalker, there's even a picture of Mr.Brosnan with the woman's daughter circulating on the internet.

So clearly there is much more to this story than the press is willing to find out.I wonder why?
Also want to note that this woman and her children are no longer homeless.
It's so interesting that most of you people seem to be siding with someone who is obviously deranged. Why would you contend that her allegations are likely to be true? Because she has said so? By that mark I could go on T.V. and claim to be Cleopatra...does that make it true...I guess so...by your standards. The story is not left unfinished because of Mr. Brosnan's celebrity status; it is left unfinished because it is unfounded and ridiculous and does not merit action on the part of Brosnan nor his representatives. Has anyone even bothered to question Carol...at all? Or in this day in age do we just take statements at face value from streetwalkers?
Side note: Carol should consider herself lucky that Brosnan is too busy to bother himself with suing her for liable and slander, not that he would get much.
Seems to me the only person posting here with half a brain and some sanity is Jeronimo....the one you're all bashing because you don't like the truth, in the end what you all believe means nothing. The facts are that Carol has decided to make her children homeless on the dangerous streets of Los Angeles because she "believes" something.....you can all blame it on Brosnan if you want to, but the law clear states that she and she alone is responsible for the welfare of her dependents (children), and any actions she willfully takes to endanger her children is a criminal act, of which I surely hope she will soon be thrown away for.
Jeronimo - good lord give it a rest. You are nothing but a coward. As i stated on another website TV shows are NOT in the habit of putting stalker's stories front and center - unless they are wearing stripes and behind bars! And i find it funny that most of these people you say she claims to have stalked - have been dead for YEARS, or are considerably older than her and lord where did she find time to have her children if she was stalking all these people and this one's secret lover, and this one's secret relative. You have quite an active imagination. Perhaps there is a career for you in fiction?? Or perhaps you have a personal problem with Carol? If so, keep it that way.
Interesting some of those people you mentioned aren't dead. Should get your facts straight Jeronimo. Do you have the courage to face me? Or are you a coward that hides behind a screen name. Based on what you've written, I know you don't know me.
Carol Plants has claimed to be: Robert Conrad's secret lover, Kevin Bacon's cousin, Claude Akins' adopted daughter, James Garner's close family friend, Charles Bronson's close family friend. She stalked these folks until they died ... Need I say more?
This is all so well and good, but I have a more important question about one of Malibu's self-proclaimed humanitarians, family man, whose wife is allegedly one to support a good cause.
Surely they have seen the story in the media about Carol Plants and her belief - and one that appears very likely to be true - that she is the sister to Pierce Brosnan. Her story was recently seen in numerous media around the world, including televised on Inside Edition.
Ms. Plants came to Los Angels/Malibu looking to find answers. A letter left in her mother's Bible upon hear death stated that her father was not the man who raised her, but none other than Thomas Brosnan. She approached individual close to Mr. Brosnan - only to have the door literally slammed in her face - this also resulted in her ultimately being left homeless.
I find it ironic that a man who claims to be such a family man and a wife who touts her own charitable efforts, have failed to come forward. If family is all that important to Mr. Brosnan, why has he come forward.
I challenge that humanity starts in the home. And IF Mr. Brosnan is the great humanitarian he claims to be and the press has painted him to be, then he should have no problem coming forward to prove this. He has nothing to lose, everything to gain - if she is his sister, she is his family, as well. Ms. Plants needs and deserves to know the truth - is Thomas Brosnan her father - thus making Pierce Brosnan her brother?
And I also ponder as to why doors are closed in her face - what does someone have to hide or why would they want to keep her such a secret?
Ms. Plants has exhausted every avenue available to her to prove that Thomas Brosnan is her father as claimed by her mother, unsucessfully. She has made contact with a relative of Mr. Brosnan's in Ireland who is willing to provide DNA, however, experts have said there is no way to prove Mr. Brosnan is her brother, other than through a sibling.
This is not about money to her. She wants no money from Mr. Brosnan. All she wants and what she DESERVES is to know who her family is, who her father is. If the test proves that he is not, she will slip quietly from his life. If he is, what Mr. Brosnan chooses to do is entirely up to him; but for Ms. Plants it will provide answers to her that she rightfully deserves to know so she can go on with her life.
It would be a travesty in my opinion if this story was left unfinished just because of Mr. Brosnan's celebrity status. In my opinion it would be even a bigger travesty if she IS his sister and they both lose something that is precious - a family member.
Now too bad Pierce won't come forward and prove or disprove that he has a real life sister, Carol Plants, as reported overseas. Check out http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=6007
