Pierce Brosnan will play James Bond in the next 007 film, co-star Dame Judi Dench has revealed
The 51-year-old will reprise his role as the suave secret agent in Casino Royale, she said. "Despite the fact that everyone on the face of the Earth has been tested as his possible replacement, Pierce will be doing it again," added Dench, who plays M in the movies.
It will be announced come the summer.
Connery WAS James Bond. the best. and he is a gun hating liberal...but he was still the best.
I hear that the next 007 movie will be Casino Royal, an original Fleming book. It was done as a total joke the first time staring Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, and David Niven....I would not watch it as in HS, back in the 1960's I was a Bond purist. If I remember the book, I think this is the one where they took away Bonds Beretta .25 caliber and gave him the Wather PPK in .32 ACP. of course my CRS is my excuse if I am wrong about this.
Rogert that ~ Brosnan is the best 007 since Connery.
All we need is lotsa action and great looking broads!
What happened to Clive Owen? I thought he was next in line.
I heard the hold-up was that he wanted $50 million to reprise the role.
I like Brosnan too, he has so much charm...in spite of his politics of course.
The one I'd like to see as Bond is Sean Bean, but he was already killed off as Agent 006 in Golden Eye.
Nah.
You Only Live Twice is best.
Then Goldfinger.
Then Thunderball.
Then 'Russia.'
"Siamese vodka?!?"
Ah yep, Sean Bean would've been a good pick--very good actor!
Check out Bond vs Flint....

He turned it down ~ said he didn't want to be type-cast.
Maybe Clive has to wait a while.
Hugh Jackman would be good too, there are so many potential ones now...unlike when they chose Dalton. I did enjoy his Bond in The Living Daylights though.
True, but the darkness in Licence To Kill is way overdone, IMHO. Part of the Bond formula is the right mix of action and lighthearted humor. The Roger Moore movies go too far in one direction, the Timothy Dalton ones too far in the other.
No doubt!
I love in Thuderball when No 2 is driving that 65 or 66 Blue 'Stang at about 90 along the darkened road.
"Some men just don't like to be driven."
"Some men don't like to be taken for a ride."
Think I'll do some Stoli and Bond tonight.
I actually thought Dalton was a good Bond, but the scripts on those films were weak. I think Bond should be someone you'd think twice about getting into a fight with, which is why I was initially resistant to Brosnan (though I was gratified that my point was illustrated when he got the snot beat out of him in his debut), but I feel he's grown into the role. I think "The World Was Not Enough" was the best of his (the last started off promisingly, but took a sharp turn into stupidland).
Moore's best were indeed "For Your Eyes Only" and "Octopussy," though the latter does have a couple of moments of agonizing Moore silliness. In fact, the quality of those two left me unprepared for the virtually unwatchable "A View to a Kill."
All-time favorites are "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds Are Forever"
couldnt find another job, huh?
I read that Dalton did a great deal of research for the role and wanted to return it to Ian Fleming's original character, which was a long ways from the frivolous one it became. But that is what audiences expected after all the years and movies!
Who's that honey who works for 'Tiger' and drives him around, the doll who get's killed with the poison?
Doesn't he say to Tiger "No... I like sake?"
Oops. Forgot to endorse the "Connery was the best" sentiment. No question there.
I've thought for some time that Daniel Day Lewis would have been a good Bond.
A Metrosexual James Bond.. is..... queer..
