For Brosnan and Thompson’s latest film, the pair will play a divorced couple who reluctantly join forces to take on a crafty con-man who has stolen their money.

Directed by Joel Hopkins, Love Punch has been shooting scenes on location in Cannes, before heading north to Paris and across the channel to the UK later this summer.

Filming has taken place from on a section of Cannes’ famous Croisette and Port Canto, as well as a handful of the Riviera’s idyllic private beaches.
