007 Relieved of duty. Licence revoked!

http://www.commanderbond.net/Public/Stories/2264-1.shtml

As now reported in many news sources around the World (including: Chicago Sun Times & MKKBB), CBn can now confirm from its own sources close to the negotiations for Bond 21 that Pierce Brosnan will not be returning to the role of James Bond.

(snip)

However, Brosnan's term was not without controversy. Some fans felt that Bond had gone too far into the world gadgets and pop culture, while others complained about poor plots and dialogue. Brosnan himself was injured in each of the films he made, hurting his back in the final fight sequence of GE, having his face cut open in TND, getting burned in the back while filming TWINE, and most famously, hurting his knee while filming the hovercraft sequence in DAD.

Negotiations finalising Brosnan’s Bond 21 contract are said to have ceased, and the search for the next James Bond is well underway. Though no replacement has been found at this time, filming of Bond 21 is still reported to begin in early 2005. Eon Productions is said to be waiting to make an announcement until Brosnan’s successor is named.

1. I nominate Jude Law.

He's perfect for the part. What a gorgeous hunk of a man! (And, he's no slouch in the acting department, either.)

:loveya:

2. Damn! I thought they were going to end this already.

They should've stopped at Octopussy.

4. In a perfect world..

Clive Owen would play Bond. Unfortunatley, Owen has made it very clear that he never wants to play Bond.

5. I'd have to agree with the fans...

Bond did get too "pop culture-y." I like the days of Connery and Moore as Bonds. Hopefully the new James Bond will be someone cool and less pop culture-y. Maybe Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean)? Ha.
