At the New York premiere of their latest movie, “The Thursday Murder Club,” Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan exchanged playful laughter, showing a warm camaraderie between them on Thursday night.

80-year-old, who won an Oscar, shone brilliantly in a white ensemble as she interacted with the 72-year-old James Bond actor, sharing a memorable moment, while all three posed together on the red carpet along with co-star Ben Kingsley.

It seemed like they were laughing over a private joke, as they kept chuckling during their promotion for the movie adaptation of Richard Osman’s top-selling book.

Impressively attired, the lead actress, Helen, shone brightly in a white sweater paired with voluminous, high-waisted trousers. She accentuated her ensemble with a striking pearl and golden necklace and earrings of the same design.

With a matching handbag completing her ensemble, Helen exuded elegance as she struck several captivating poses for the cameras.

While Pierce looked sharp as always, he coordinated perfectly with Helen’s ensemble, donning a white jacket similar to hers, along with a white shirt, black pants, and a black necktie.

At the event, not only was Ben present, but also their co-star Tom Ellis, producer Jennifer Todd, and director Chris Columbus, making for excellent company.

While Pierce’s son Dylan Brosnan, 28, was on hand to support his father at the screening. 

The Thursday Murder Club revolves around a quick-witted band of senior citizens living contentedly in a retirement community, where they enjoy the pastime of unraveling unsolved mysteries from the past.

However, what initially seemed a peaceful hobby unexpectedly becomes exhilarating as they find themselves faced with an unsolved murder case that captures their interest.

Mirren leads the cast as Elizabeth, a sharp ex-spy with a knack for uncovering secrets. 

In this scenario, Pierce Brosnan takes on the role of Ron, a fervent, past union activist. On the other hand, Ben Kingsley embodies the character of Ibrahim, who is both wise and a former psychiatrist.

Pierce Brosnan portrays Ron, a zealous former labor union activist, while Ben Kingsley delivers an insightful performance as ex-psychiatrist, Ibrahim.

Celia Imrie rounds out the group as Joyce, a compassionate ex-nurse who balances the team. 

The film is based on the bestselling novel by Richard Osman. 

The movie is helmed by Chris Columbus, famous for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, with a script written by both Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote.

In a clandestine effort spanning approximately 18 months, Osman penned the book, which ignited an intense auction involving ten publishers. Eventually, in 2019, Penguin Random House won the rights to the book for a substantial seven-figure contract.

In 2020, The Thursday Murder Club was the sole novel to surpass one million copies in sales, making it the third highest-selling hardcover book that year, with only Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol and JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows selling more.

The initial success resulted in the production of three subsequent novels: “The Man Who Died Twice” (2021), “The Bullet That Missed” (2022), and “The Last Devil to Die” (2023). Another installment is set for release next year.
