Yahoo Movies Watch the trailer for Pierce Brosnan's new movie The Last Rifleman
We've got the exclusive first trailer for Pierce Brosnan's upcoming movie The Last Rifleman, which you can watch above.
Inspired by a true story, The Last Rifleman sees Brosnan play World War II veteran Artie Crawford who, on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, decides to escape his care home and embark on a journey to France to pay his respects.
The movie sees Brosnan aged up to play the 92-year-old veteran, with the trailer revealing that he'll also be playing a younger version of Artie too, as well as James Keating playing Artie during World War II.
The Last Rifleman will be available to watch on Sky Cinema and NOW from Sunday, November 5.

"Bernard Jordan's daring journey caught the nation's attention and highlighted the spirit that epitomised the second world war generation," writer Kevin Fitzpatrick told Deadline when the movie was first announced.
"I was enthralled by this story and the motives that drive a man near the end of his life on a quest to a place that must hold only painful memories."
Directed by Terry Loane, The Last Rifleman also stars Clémence Poésy, Jürgen Prochnow, John Amos, Desmond Eastwood and Claire Rafferty.
The movie is one of several major premieres on Sky Cinema in November, alongside David Harbour's festive outing Violent Night, horror-comedy Renfield and Joaquin Phoenix's mind-bender Beau Is Afraid.
If the story sounds familiar, The Last Rifleman was inspired by the same true story as The Great Escaper, out now in UK cinemas, which sees Michael Caine play Bernard Jordan alongside Glenda Jackson as his wife Irene.
The Last Rifleman is available to watch on Sky Cinema and NOW from November 5.
