Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren & Pierce Brosnan are in last negotiations to star in The Associate, a sequence from Guy Ritchie.

A brand new present at Paramount Plus which started life as a Ray Donovan spinoff sequence is within the last phases of securing itself one hell of a forged. Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan are in last negotiations to star in The Associate from director Guy Ritchie. Wowza.

Should the trio signal on the dotted line, Deadline hears that Tom Hardy would star as Harry, the fixer, “a man who is as dangerous as he is handsome.” Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan would additionally star because the crime household’s matriarch and patriarch.

Previously, The Associate was believed to be a Ray Donovan spin-off referred to as The Donovans, which had the next synopsis:

“With the most powerful clients in Europe, The Donovans will see family fortunes and reputations at risk, odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner, and while the family might be London’s most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what’s in store tomorrow.” Guy Ritchie will was to direct The Donovans and govt produce alongside sequence author Ronan Bennett.

The unique Ray Donovan sequence starred Liev Schreiber because the title character, knowledgeable fixer who organized bribes, payoffs, threats, and different unlawful actions for the good thing about his highly effective shoppers. It aired for seven seasons on Showtime earlier than it was cancelled with out warning, however a feature-length movie was launched in 2022, which concluded the story.

Bennett spoke in regards to the Ray Donovan spinoff earlier this 12 months. “We’re going to deliver a show which provides massive thrills, entertainment and a huge rush of adrenaline for audiences around the world,” Bennet stated. “At the same time, I’m totally focused on exploring real characters, in body and in soul, and I’m committed to writing stories with deep dramatic impact. We’re going to get under the skin of the criminal underworld, in a way which will show you the bone-deep truths of how they live and how it sometimes will – inevitably – impact on our own lives.” With Hardy, Mirren, and Brosnan onboard (or simply about), I believe persons are going to be very enthusiastic about this one.
