Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson are divorcees and wannabe jewel thieves in the first trailer for the comedy caper The Love Punch.

The former 007 and Thompson play a divorced couple who come up with a scheme to recover the retirement money that was stolen from them by a French financier.  The pair recruits their bumbling neighbours Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie to join them in Paris where they plan on stealing a valuable diamond.  Wigs, wet suits, questionable accents, and laughs ensue when these middle-aged criminals get down to business.

The heist comedy debuted back in September at the Toronto International Film Festival where Cineplex sat down with the film’s stars and director/writer Joel Hopkins to talk comedy capers, retirement age James Bond,  and Emma Thompson’s stunt driving techniques.  You can watch out fun interview The Love Punch interview here!
