#007 – The gossip that former 007 James Bond star Pierce Brosnan was filming in Dublin with British actress Anna Friel proved correct tonight when the pair arrived at Dun Laoghaire Marina. 

The stars were on the Dun Laoghaire waterfront filming new movie 'I.T'., a film in which Pierce Brosnan stars as a book publisher.

Deadline.com, which broke the story, says the new film pits Brosnan's character against a disgruntled IT consultant who threatens his family and business.

Friel, a London based actress, plays Brosnan's wife in the revenge thriller. In an earlier scene, this afternoon the pair were also filming near the now vacant HSS Ferry terminal. 

Brosnan also dropped into the Dun Laoghaire harbour based Irish yacht broker MGM Boats and is pictured below with its managing director Gerry Salmon.
