Today is the day Pierce Brosnan realizes a decades old dream to make this movie, maybe a series if the movie is successful. Pierce Brosnan’s action spy film, The November Man, doesn’t actually come out until August 27, but Relativity already feels like it has a hit on its hands, so much so that they…
