A first look at Pierce Brosnan's transformation for The Last Rifleman has been released.

The upcoming film sees the James Bond star play 89-year-old World War II veteran Artie Crawford, who escapes from his care home in Northern Ireland so he can travel to France and pay his final respects on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

The story is inspired by real-life World War II veteran Bernard Jordan, who escaped from his care home and made his way to Normandy to attend the 70th anniversary events in 2014.

Brosnan looks almost unrecognisable in the first-look photos, sporting facial prosthetics and a balding, grey wig in order to age the 70-year-old actor by two decades.

Other cast members include Normal People's Desmond Eastwood, Watchmen's Louis Gossett Jr, and Derry Girls' Claire Rafferty.

The Last Rifleman is directed by Terry Loane, who co-wrote the script for upcoming film In the Land of Saints and Sinners.

The Last Rifleman has yet to receive a release date.
