Brosnan joins CLIFFHANGER reboot

Pierce Brosnan is ready to rock with their reboot of CLIFFHANGER, following his role in the historical action film FAST CHARLIE (2024), in which he played a hitman seeking revenge.

Principal photography commenced in Austria for an updated take on the 1993 film of the same name that starred Sylvester Stallone. Jaume Collet-Serra directs the new movie that is planning a theatrical release and hails from Rocket Science, in partnership with Thank You Pictures and Supernix.

The CLIFFHANGER reboot centers on mountaineer Ray Cooper (Brosnan), who runs a chalet with his daughter in the Dolomites, a mountain range in Italy. When the pair are kidnapped, older daughter Naomi (James) — still dealing with trauma from a previous climbing incident — must overcome her past to save her family.

The original CLIFFHANGER hit theaters in May 1993 from TriStar Pictures and collected $255 million at the global box office. Stallone starred for director Renny Harlin as a mountain climber enlisted to help track down suitcases full of stolen cash in the Rocky Mountains.

Clare Dunne in KATHLEEN IS HERE

A new Irish film is scheduled for release later this month and it explores some heavy themes. KATHLEEN IS HERE has been dubbed a moving and emotional film by those who enjoyed an early viewing. The film was written and directed by Irish filmmaker and actress Eva Birthistle, who is best known for her role in BROOKLYN starring Saoirse Ronan and BAD SISTERS. Kathleen (Hazel Doupe) is 18 and fresh out of foster care. She returns to her hometown to take ownership of her late mother’s house. Though she gets a job in the local shop and establishes a friendship of convenience with a co-worker, she soon realises that the emptiness of her life cannot be filled by social media and occasional boozy nights in the pub. But a chance encounter with Dee (Clare Dunne), a warm-hearted, happily married, young mother across the road, sends Kathleen on a destructive path of obsession and delusion.
