Pierce Brosnan lands role in "Mamma Mia"

I'll bet Pierce Brosnan thought playing James Bond would be the highlight of his career. Well, now he's been signed for a movie that I think is a dream role: Brosnan will star opposite Meryl Streep in "Mamma Mia!," the film adaptation of the hit musical with a score of all ABBA songs.
Brosnan, who will duet with Streep on "S.O.S.," sang a few Irish standards in the indie drama "Evelyn," and sang onstage early in his career. He will play Sam, one of three men summoned to a Greek isle by a young woman who believes one of them is her father.
"I said yes right away because it meant working with Meryl Streep," Brosnan told Daily Variety. "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 movie begins shooting June 25 in London and Greece.
