Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Pierce stars in the highly anticipated Netflix movie, directed byChris Columbus, alongside a killer cast, which includesHelen Mirren,Ben Kingsleyand Celia Imrie. The film, which is based on the first book inRichard Osman's popular series, follows four residents of a U.K. retirement home who solve cold-case murders for fun. When a death happens close to home, the quartet get caught up in a thrilling and humorous whodunit. While speaking following the screening on Thursday, Pierce discussed starring alongside such an incredible cast, sharing, "To be in the company of Sir Ben and Dame Helen was powerful, really powerful, but so easy because they're so gifted, and so beautiful, great human beings to be with. We all became pals, we became a company of actors and we all come from the stage, so it was glorious." Theo Wargo/Getty Pierce said that he and his character Ron "are kind of joined at the hip in so many ways," admitting he "wasn't aware of the books" before taking on the role. "Chris called me up and said, I'm doing[The] Thursday Murder Club. I read the book. I fell in love with the book. I fell in love with all the characters and my character, but I never asked him really why he cast me as this character, because I could see other men playing this character," he said on the panel. Calling the movie "a love story," Pierce added, "It's a love story between these four people who are so vibrant and so alive and have such a creative, passionate zest for life, and that's what I brought, or I tried to bring, to Ron," explaining that he "identified with Ron's passion for doing good things." Pierce's latest movie comes after he was joined by his sons Dylan and Paris, 24 — whom he shares with his filmmaker and philanthropist wifeKeely Shaye, 61 — in the WesternThe Unholy Trinity, which was released in June.
