Musical phenomenon 'Mamma Mia!', seen by more than 30 million, is heading to the big screen courtesy of Tom Hanks (Playtone). For those not in the know, the show tells the tale of a young woman embarking on a quest to discover the identity of her father, played out to a soundtrack of hit songs from the Swedish super group Abba. On the eve of her wedding to Sky (Dominic Cooper), she brings three men, Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Bill (Stellan Skarsgård) and Harry (Colin Firth), from her mother Donna's (Meryl Streep) past back to the Greek island they visited over two decades ago.

Pierce Brosnan will play Sam, one of the possible fathers. The former Bond actor said he leapt at the chance to act opposite Oscar winner Meryl Streep, film industry tabloid Daily Variety reported. "I said 'yes' right away because it meant working with Meryl Streep," Brosnan said. "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 time with Meryl on some Greek island, singing Abba songs."

PLAYTONE - A partnership between screen legend Tom Hanks and producer Gary Goetzman, Playtone is known as much for its great taste in material as its star-power. The Universal Pictures-based company boasts big screen hits like My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Castaway, as well as their innovative television programming, spearheaded by the HBO 10 hour series Band of Brothers.
