Pierce Brosnan will be 007 in CASINO ROYALE - The Roulette Wheel Has Stopped'

Hey folks, Harry here... Well, it isn't Clive Owen or Orlando Bloom or Daniel Craig. It's still Pierce Brosnan - and frankly I'm glad. One - I feel Brosnan is a good fit with the material - albeit I wish desperately that a really tough filmmaker would make the Atom Bond movie to end them all. Just something that completely shook up the character and gave Brosnan the juicy material that he so richly deserves and is completely capable in performing. Clive will be a major action star, but word on the street is he's headed towards a different action film. Orlando is too busy shooting back to back PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN flicks... and I'm hearing that Daniel Craig will be starring in Spielberg's Munich Olympics film. So... I'm pretty sure that Dame Judi Dench is shooting straight here. And that's good news, dontcha think?

Hiya Harry

Hope your health has improved.. Thought you ay be interested in this little snippet from Sky.com showbiz webiste...It seems Dame Judy has let something slip

Sky.Com

"Bless Dame Judi, she's gone and put her foot right into the whole muddle of who is to be the next James Bond. But the interesting thing is that with her reprising her role as M in the next Bond film Casino Royale, you'd think Judi would know more than most. The 70-year-old actress has revealed that the new 007 is in fact the old one... Pierce Brosnan. Her claims back up reports earlier in the month that bigwigs behind the Bond films are still keen on Pierce despite Daniel Craig and Clive Owen both being tipped to take on the super suave spy.

But speaking in New York, Dame Judi revealed that Pierce was still the man and would be popping his brogues back on again for the latest film. "Despite the fact that everyone on the face of the Earth has been tested as his replacement, Pierce will be doing it again.

"It will be announced come summer," she said."

Hope this is of interest

Edward
