Since 2004, Brosnan has talked of backing a film about [[Caitlin Thomas|Caitlin Macnamara]], wife of poet [[Dylan Thomas]],<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/nov/26/film.books |title=Race to put the passion of Dylan's Caitlin on big screen |work=The Observer |access-date=22 February 2007 |last=Thorpe |first=Vanessa |date=26 November 2006 |location=London |archive-date=12 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141012224604/http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/nov/26/film.books |url-status=live }}</ref> the title role to be played by [[Miranda Richardson]]. Brosnan's first post-Bond role was that of Daniel Rafferty in 2004's ''[[Laws of Attraction]]''.
