Pierce Brosnan is to star opposite Meryl Streep, and sing, in the big screen adaptation of 'Mamma Mia!'.
The musical, which features Abba songs, tells the story of a bride-to-be who was raised by her single mother (Meryl Streep); the daughter invites three men who might be her father to her wedding in Greece and chaos ensues.
Variety reports that Brosnan will play Sam in the film, one of the three men.
Commenting on joining the film, Brosnan said: "I said yes right away because it meant working with Meryl Streep."
He continued: "Secondly, I saw the show with my family in London, and found it just so wonderfully happy and joyful, and so pitched in time forever in the 1970s. What a kick in the pants, to be able to go off and spend time with Meryl on some Greek island, singing ABBA songs."
The film begins shooting on 25 June in London and Greece.
Phyllida Lloyd, who directed the original musical in London and on Broadway, will make her feature directing debut with the film.
