This upcoming spy thriller would be directed by Simon Barry, who is most noted as the showrunner of Netflix series Warrior Nun. This would be his feature directorial debut.
Actor Pierce Brosnan has signed in for Passage Picture’s new project: A Spy’s Guide To Survival. Set as a romantic thriller, the film would mark the feature directorial debut of Simon Barry, the creator of the Netflix series Warrior Nun.
The James Bond fame would return to his spy roots with this film, which follows the story of a “reclusive, retired spy who is brought out of hiding by his enigmatic neighbor, digging up both of their secrets in the process.” It has been revealed that Barry wrote the screenplay based on the story by him and his father, Derek Barry.

“As a longtime Pierce Brosnan fan, I’m extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside someone I admire for their craft, character and humanity,” said Barry on Brosnan joining the cast.
“Pierce is the perfect fit for this role, and we are so excited to see what he and Simon will do together,” said Uri Singer, who produced Noah Baumbach's White Noise.
