[article] Brosnan calls it day for 007

    NEW YORK (AP) - Pierce Brosnan appears to be turning in his licence to kill, says Entertainment Weekly.

    "That's it," Brosnan told EW.com. "I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond." In an interview on the magazine's website, posted Tuesday, the Irish-born actor said 2002's Die Another Day was his last mission on Her Majesty's secret service.

    "Bond is another lifetime behind me," Brosnan said.

    But the 51-year-old's statement might be a negotiating ploy. Original Bond Sean Connery quit for a whole movie before being lured back for bigger bucks. If true, England-based Eon Productions, which produces the Bond flicks, must find another star to carry 007's Walther PPK in the 21st Bond movie, scheduled for release next year.

    Speculation surrounds Brits Clive Owen, Ioan Gruffudd, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Gerard Butler, Jude Law and Ewan McGregor, as well as Aussies Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger and Eric Bana.

    For Brosnan, playing Bond will always be a fond memory.

    "We went out on a high," Brosnan said, "and I look back affectionately at that time and doing those four movies. But I've said all I gotta say on it."

    Mike.

    So it looks like Pierce isnt doing that fifth Bond he wanted to do. Ah well.
    So who so you think will be the new Bond?? and who would you like to see??

    I wouldnt mind seeing Colin "Fookin" Farrell. Or maybe Ewan McGregor but I think he is to small.

    i read on the teletext on RTE(i think) yesterday that Orlando Bloom is supposed to play Bond in his school days, when he gets kicked out of Eton.

    doesn't sound promising for Bond 21. maybe they're making a film of James Bond Jr.

    I think i heard somewhere that Quentin Tarantino approached Brosnan with a script/proposal for Bond and he (Brosnan) was quite interested in it ! Of course the producers would have none of it.
