Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan will show off his singing skills when he teams up with Meryl Streep for the big screen adaptation of the hit musical "Mamma Mia".
Brosnan, who plays Sam, one of the three men summoned to a Greek island by a young woman who believes one of them is her father in the new film, says the opportunity to sing Abba songs with Streep was irresistible.
Contactmusic.com quoted him as saying: "I said yes right away because it meant working with Meryl Streep. Secondly, I saw the show with my family in London, and found it just so wonderfully happy and joyful, and so pitched in time forever in the 1970s.
"What a kick in the pants to be able to go off and spend some time with Streep on some Greek island, singing Abba songs!"
Earlier, Brosnan sang a few Irish songs in "Evelyn" and also crooned onstage early in his career.
Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson are co-producing the film with former Abba members Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus.
