Brosnan has stated that TV presenter Richard Madeley was an inspiration to him in playing the role . While reading the script for the film in the '' Colombe D'Or '' restaurant in Saint-Paul-de-Vence , Brosnan stated that he saw Madeley and his wife Judy Finnigan and later said " I think it 's his sheer ebullience and enthusiasm . You have to be almost shamanic to do it , really , and really believe in yourself . And it 's a thin line between being affable and being really annoying . So it takes a brave soul , really . " The film premiered at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival on 10 February 2014
