Guess this also puts to rest the rumors that a decision has already been made, be it Owen or whomever, and that an announcement is imminent. I think they best thing about this article is it will shut down the cottage industry of internet "insiders" for a while.
Great job, [dark].

I'm glad that we can finally rule Pierce out of the picture. He was done after DAD, and it's time for EON to go out and find the new Bond.

Looks like a decision/announcement isn't that far off. Unless Eon were fobbing him off and hoping the inquiries will all go away.
Nah.

So they've started dropping tiny bits of information that may stop the constant phone calls, while simultaneously stomping out some of those absurd rumours we've been hearing.
It's probably all in the wording, but it sounds like it was a very abrupt phone call.

Did a reporter merely pick up the phone and ask as opposed to the others who just went with the flavor of the week?

To paraphrase George Clooney in Out of Sight "You'd be amazed at what you can get just by asking."Did a reporter merely pick up the phone and ask as opposed to the others who just went with the flavor of the week?
In a word, YES.
Maybe just because EON was silent for a long time didn't mean it was totally going to be noncommunicative. Just maybe nobody thought to ask, or at least ask in the right way.

Mixed reactions to this article. On one hand, I'm VERY happy Eon is starting to comment on the Bond #6 search, but I'm also sad Brosnan truly has no chance. Even though we all pretty much knew he was out last year, I was still holding out hope that the Bond #6 search would come up short and they'd have to go back to Pierce.
Guess this also puts to rest the rumors that a decision has already been made, be it Owen or whomever, and that an announcement is imminent. I think they best thing about this article is it will shut down the cottage industry of internet "insiders" for a while.
Great job, [dark].
My thoughts exactly that this should close the persistent speculation and so called inside info saying Clive Owen is all signed up. And yes this should make life tough for purveyors of bull. After a month or two they'll probably return. Looks like we have nothing to do in the CR forum for a couple of months.
And one last time and now for certain, I will like to say kudos to Pierce for a fine job as Bond. Did Eon make a wise decision in this? If the new Bond disappoints especially financially then Eon would have really mucked this up. Only time will tell BUT it is certainly no sure thing that they will be able to pull this switch off well.

Blofeld's Cat has a good point, I feel the new Bond may be announced in Jan '06 at the CR press conference.

Finally EON has silenced those who think Mr Brosnan will return.
Blofeld's Cat has a good point, I feel the new Bond may be announced in Jan '06 at the CR press conference.
I agree with that comment as well, but their will be some leaked facts along the way. I am putting my money of Nov '05 is when Ioan Gruffudd will be announced.

As for the next Bond - now it's not Brosnan, i'm hoping Clive Owen get's the gig.

Eon probably feel there's no reason to announce who Bond #6 will be until the press conference just before shooting starts in January.
January? Why so pessimistic? Didn't this Eon employee hint heavily that there'd be news in a couple of months? By which time it'll be June, and since Brosnan was announced in June 1994 for a film due in November 1995, I think it's entirely possible that the new Bond will be revealed in, well, a couple of months.
Is a June announcement certain? Of course not, but if there's no June announcement then I reckon it'll be in July, or August, or September, or even October.... but January? Nah, we won't have to wait that long.

And Peter Snow auditioned for OHMSS? First I have ever heard that. Again, where did the reporter get it from? It sounds pretty implausible. Q, yes. Bond? Was Snow ever an actor?

I often wonder what things Eon spokespeople would have said if there was an Internet during Cubby Broccoli's time. Would they have commented that "It's definitely not Sean Connery" in 1970 after the departure of George Lazenby?
Pierce Brosnan and Eon/MGM/UA/Sony can still kiss and make up and whatever negative comments that have been said in the press can still be spin doctored.
