Keep your eye out if you’re headed to the capital…

Heist thriller ‘The Misfits’ will begin filming in Abu Dhabi later this month, bringing with it a host of stars including Pierce Brosnan to the capital.

Brosnan recently signed on to the movie, which will be directed by action veteran Renny Harlin, who has previously directed films such as Die Hard 2 and Skip Trace.

Jumeirah at Etihad Towers has revealed it’s been chosen as one of the movie shoot locations for the upcoming film, so be sure to keep an eye out if you’re around the hotel later this month.

“We are extremely excited to have him on board,” said director Renny Harlin. “Pierce and I have been friends for many years and have been looking for a project to collaborate on for some time. I could not have hoped for a better actor to play our lead.”
