CBN quotes a published report that Pierce Brosnan has signed a contract to do Bond 21, with an option for Bond 22. And, of course, we all know that "an option" in this case means "a done deal."

So Pierce will be around for the 2007 release, whatever it might be.

Any thoughts? Myself, I think this is great news. Pierce saved the franchise, and he's going to be around for a while. How can you not like that?

[Righty007]

I think this is great! Don't say he will do Bond 22, if you don't know for sure because thats going to confuse some of the people here at CBn.

[jwheels]

As long as he does not look too old by 2007, then I'm very happy about the news, By that time he will be the same age Moore was when Moore ended. He will also be in the role for 12 years, just as long as Moore, and we all no how old Moore looked in A View to A Kill.

[Wade]

Well, bugger! Now MI6 is saying that the original German Associated Press article was misread, and that Brosnan has NOT reupped for Bond 21 and 22. Scheiss!!!

My bad. I believed what I read. Can you find it in your hearts to forgive me?

[Righty007]

I think Brosnan is aging better than Moore did, so hopefully in 2007 Brosnan won't look as old as Moore did in 1985.

Brosnan has not signed on for Bond 21:

two more brosnan's, that is great...i knew it would go that way anyway

[kevrichardson]

The role is his for as long as he wants it . So why the rush to sign , when there is no plans to make Bond 21 until 2005 .

[DanMan]

Brozzie is 50 years old and is still on the Sexiest Men Alive list every year. I don't think Moore was able to that at his age. I still love Roger though!

Seems you jumped the gun a little here Wade. Brosnan has yet to sign on the dotted line for Bond 21.

[Tim007]

While CommanderBond.net reported about Pierce Brosnan having signed a contract for Bond 21 some days ago, other sources on the web spoke of a misinterpretation. However, an article featured in Business Week Magazine on_April 14th already, confirms that the contract has been signed.

The article which is mainly an inside report about Pierce Brosnan and his production company_"Irish dreamtime" states in one sentence, "The 49-year-old classically trained actor (who has been working in the business since he was 18), has just signed up for a fifth Bond film."

[BONDFINESSE 007]

thats great, now if we can just get him to sign for bond 22 it will be heaven

[deth]

If Brosnan can't do more than about 20 min. of actual fottage of himself in the film for a Bond 22, then I say, let someone else do it.


Roger Moore could not possibly have been 'in' the actual movie for much longer than that (AVTAK)

[BONDFINESSE 007]

brosnan can go the whole two hours, he is not old, and he can do his own stunts

[Tedley King]

I tek it this means he has seen a plot of the film, or maybe a rough, first draft of the script to have an idea of to wot hes signin himself onto, or dus this mean he is SO sure B21 will do well, he dont need to?

[PaulZ108]

I hope he does the next one (which I'm sure he will), but I'm not sure about Bond 22. Another 3 year gap will be needed to time the release of Bond 22 for 2007, but that would mean a two year gap for one film. I'll be pissed if 2007 gets passed up because Brosnan wants that extra year.

He may not look his age now, but Moore aged ALOT between MR and FYEO. If he looks about the same for Bond 22 then fine, but I'm not convinced that he will.

[thuffner]

Excellent! Most likely Brosnan's last right?

[Xenobia]

If you go to Kim Last's site, she has an article up that clearly states that Brosnan has signed for B21. It's from a BusinessWeek article that also discusses how MGM (what a surprise) has downsized its supoort of Brosnan's private production computer, IrishDreamTime.

[censuré]! I want a new Bond and a new lease on 007 life! This series is stagnating again.Pierce is looking old. If he wants to do so many than he should stick to bi-annual Bonds. It's not as shocking a change when it's a 2 year gap between films. 2007 is the ideal time to introduce the 6th 007 actor.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

i prefer brosnan do 21 and 22, i would like him to stay as long as roger did

[HUNTER C.]

I don't want Pierce to over stay. Pierce doesn't want to over stay. I think Bond 21 should be his last. He MAY be able to do a Bond 22 but personally I rather the year "2007" introduce a new Bond and I thought a 3 year gap before it would be perfect to kind of give a break inbetween Brosnan and the next guy. I don't really want Pierce to go, he's a good Bond and gave his best Bond performance in Die Another Day I think. So, I want to see him return. I just don't want to see him turn into Roger Moore and there's no hiding the fact that he obviously does look a bit over the hill.

[SeanValen00V]

Whether he's signed or not, don't matter that much at this point, as filming as a long way away, and he's he commented he's agreed to come back, handshake deal, the rest is about the money.

Lets not talk about the option for Bond 22, we already know the Pierce can play Bond until he says no, always been mixed signals about his 6th.

I expect Bond 21 to be his last, don't expect him to push it for Bond 22, but I keep thinking about Harrison Ford and how he looks action like all the time through his 50s in the 90s, so who knows, but its ages away, Bond 21 is ages away, let alone 22.

Plus I like to see a new Bond in 2007, like Pierce alot, but we know he won't be the Bond in GE, TND, TWINE, he'll be pushing it bit, this is James Bond, Roger may have taken the phyical stuff less seriously in his later films, but Brosnan would want to remain convincing, it would be a professional choice over greed and ego I believe. Last Bond films do leave a impression, so it's important. Timothy did 2, but was so much in his prime, and 2 great films, he's leaves that hungre for more, Pierce can still do that, because with James Bond, it's never enough movies, it's only enough when you believe the actor is pushing it, and you have his previous Bond missions in your memory.

Bond 21-Pierce's last.

I DONT SEE PIERCE LOOKING OVER THE HILL WHATSOEVER, and i so wish that people would get off roger moore and how old he "supposably" looked...he did not, avtak was a great bond film and he did exceptional in it

pierce can do two more films just fine, he wont need awalking cane or anything like that, he is more then able to carry it off just fine

[B] I DONT SEE PIERCE LOOKING OVER THE HILL WHATSOEVER

Those lines and wrinkles on his face are signs of old age. Don't be ignorant and tell me "lines? wrinkles? what are you talking about?" or anything. It's perfectly obvious that Pierce is no longer in his 20s/30s, especially when you see Die Another Day or even look at the posters.

Is Pierce still able to pull off a great physical performance? Hell yeah. But, there is a time to step down because you're no longer believable in the role. Roger was no longer believable in AVTAK. Whatever surgery he had I think made him look worse than he would have if he had not gotten it. Roger did not, physically, seem believable. To me anyway. And what made it worse is that they'd throw in these young, young girls to play along side him. Not smart. I guess there's a bit of humor to it, but still.

[Coop]

Ah well, they say wood improves as it ages

[BONDFINESSE 007]

if he is not believable to u, then thats you, but roger was very believable in avtak to me...very much so. and brosnan is not 35 any more but he is still damn believable now and two films from now

[MrDraco]

Ok its like a box of information above us on a shelf, what we're going to do is move it-Donal Rumsfeld on Iraq,
Anyway i think Brosnan will do Seven movies with Moore and Connery he said that in the begining and i think he will...his one of the best

[BONDFINESSE 007]

u keep going brosnan, if you want to make 5 more there is nothing we can do about it....so u keep going
