After months of speculation, Pierce Brosnan finally admitted that he had been fired from the role of Bond, James Bond. While on an interview to promote his new movie, After the Sunset, Brosnan was quoted as saying "It's over, it's over, it's absolutely over.

Brosnan went on to tell the story of his firing, which began with a phone call after Die Another Day, when Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson said "We're so happy with the success, we want you to come back!" With that, Brosnan continued thinking that he would once again don the tux and Walther PPK.

Brosnan says he was willing, even eager, to do a fifth and final Bond, adding that 007 producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson had asked him to return, although no contracts were signed.

It was during the filming of After the Sunset where Brosnan states that his agents called him and said that Broccoli and Wilson had changed their minds. "It's very hard to find the truth in that town (Hollywood) or in this business at times," Brosnan said. "But it was their prerogative to change their minds. They can do it! And they might have done it 'to go younger.'" He went on to say, "It was disappointing. It was surprising. And I accepted the knowledge after 24 hours of being in shock."

Any comments?

no!! NO!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait...so he's gonna make a fifth one and thats it rite?

yeah, heard it too

AE4, no, no fifth anymore

what? what?! WHAT?!!!

WHAT ARE THEY STONED!?!?!??!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they cant!!! brosnan's such a good bond!!!!! bloody hell!!
bastards!

so they don't have bond

guess he wanted too much money?

maybe

he should play him with no payment

Don't forget fellow agents...MGM is now SONY...*the land of the rising sun* may have THEIR OWN agenda...

you don't mean that they gonna put as british agent, chinese/japan actor?

Hell, who knows what overhaul the Japanese'll do for the Bond series...can't be any worse than the past few weak efforts, though!

truth...
but if they try really hard they'll manage to make it even worse

I can't see things getting any worse than TWINE and DAD, can you?

i was thinking so before DaD.
and they've proved i was wrong

That's true, celebrities make way too much money for things that really shouldn't be that high pay. Producers should make more intelligent decisions, why fill those actor's packets with more money when you have many actors just looking for an opportunity. And if they say that they don't have experience, they should look for those who study drama and actually go to institutes/academies to learn something?


Ahhh!! Japanese... Isn't Quentin Tarantino going to direct a James Bond movie or something like that? Maybe because of him a Japanese actor is going to be thrown in there (I write this because of the Kill Bill)
That's all folks!

ah come on, don't get silly now people!
Bond as a japanese? sony can do a lot, but if the brocolli's say no it IS no! Sony has the movierights but the broccoli's have the EXCLUSIVE rights, they have the final veto...

Kal > Tarantino wanted to make a Casino Royal movie, but dunno, got rejected or never got to it?

who's brocolli
my first idea was some vegetable bag

Brocolli is the executive producer of the franchise, they hold exclusive rights to bond, if they say no, it IS no

and it is written somewhere at the beggining of the movies?

yes, at the songtitle, after "X is Ian Flemming's James Bond 007"

so i've seen it.. but didn't remember.

no more pierce as Bond... the ... the .... the monstrocity! cry

damnit

well, clovs, that's cause everyone fastforwards through it

sorry evy, it is indeed sad news

i;ve seen it on tv. no way for fast fowarding

closing your eyes and singing?

rather going to kitchen to get something to drink/eat bag

good thinking ... alcohol?

sometimes.

but not getting drunk I hope

VERY seldom

that's a good girl

am i ?

Nice to know that the Bond produces still have their intregity. Oh, and if you didn't get the sarcastism there, shame on you. *hehe*

you are

I didn't... but I'm sure they will save bond from strange japanese decisions

i think/hope same

like...making him japanese

understood

would make YOLT extremely weird

why?

(and does YOLT means you live only twice?)

yes it does and it would be cause in the movie he had to get a little "operation" to appear japanese

i don't remember it

you don't remember that a japanese saying goes "bird never makes nest in bare tree"?

no......

it was a short scene of course

i don't rememeber movie at all

nothing bad

if you says so..

I think so

even better

damn straight girl

oh really?

I think so

good

so, ... about the topic

no pierce as bond

and g'night.

you're off?

yeah, I hope they find a good successor

will be anytime soon, and i wanted to say it before i'm gone bag


i can't think up any good candidate.

anyone but williams

not anyone

me?

could be

who would not agree

i don't know anyone.

I would

you would disagree? or you know someone?

I would know someone...

like ... anyone wants to be Bond, so Brosnan will soon be forgotten... UNLESS this is a mean trick into getting a better salary

i'm sure it is just to get better salalry

I hope so, we need him

why?

cause he's damn good

but maybe someone would be better



j/k

but he's one of the best

but we can't know if there is no better person

well, Pierce himself said he had his eye on someone, but he doesn't wanna tell who

he should knmow the best

but not anyone will be as good as him

doesn't he have a son?

I think he has three... adopted though

no idea. but i think i've seen a pic of him with some kids in the newspaper once

Here's an idea...with all this new money CGI malarkey, why not get a nobody to play Bond, superimpose Sean Connery's head on him and dub in the dialogue...

Are you listening Tokyo boys???

I hope they don't,... sounds bad

would be ridicouls (sp?)

*rediculous

checked in dict., you were almost correct but it is ri....

*Ridiculous

i got the begining and yerss the end

potato-potatoe

nevermind

okay

see, it's not that bad he got fired

i've been wondering how will you make it back on topic
now i know

with a new swift move

very gentle one

as a gentleman like bond

of course

*curtsies*

i don't know this word cry

that I kneel

in front of me?

yeah, where else... you gotta see it

truth

so, anyway, topic

he is nor fired he resignated

cause he had no contract in the first place

i knew about it

but it's still a pity he's gone

maybe he'll re-consider this

if they give more money or something

exactly

unfortunatly

what's sad about it?
it will make him come back

IF he comes back

he will

how come you're sure

i'm thinking possitive tongue

good thinking, I hope you are right, we need him!

i don't

but you were thinking positive, don't stop that

why not?

because that's a good thing

i don't really see it

positive thinking is still a good thing

not always

when not?

when you have hope and then get disappointed

but he will return, right?

most probably.

that's ace

yeah. i think so

he's really one of the best around

i know.

besides sean, but he can't play bond anymore

yeah.. he's to old for SURE.

and he won't return as his dad

He could be a grandpa

hmmm, good thinking I like that

Sean the Grandpa, Brosnan the father and Bloom the son

you would expect that bond has better genes to pass through

Speaking of genes (actually this does not happen anything to do with genes) I found something very weird called JamezBond, is like a music video and the song is in Japanese

what was that?

jameZ?


to the genes. i think it's great idea, but maybe not with bloom

definitly not bloom, you need someone who can act

keanu

ok. he doesn't look british

IS he british to start with?

well, not that that matters much cause Lazenby was australian ... and technically, Pierce is irish so he doesn't go with the UK thing

he's not.
but bond should LOOK so.
and pierce does. same sean (i think he's scottish)

how can you look english? the time of bowler hats is over unfortunatly

sean is scottish , but untill they reach independance, they are still part of the UK
