Website Cinema Confidential had een interview met acteur Pierce Brosnan over zijn nieuwe film Laws of attraction, een romantische komedie met onder andere Julianne Moore. In het vraaggesprek werd uiteraard ook even ingegaan op de komende James Bond film, waarin Brosnan naar alle waarschijnlijkheid niet de rol van Bond zal gaan spelen.


[eng]Where does the new Bond film stand right now?

It doesn’t stand anywhere. I don’t know what’s happening. There’s a paralysis that has come upon the producers. They don’t know whether to go forwards, backwards, sideways – I don’t know. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve honored my contract of doing four [Bond] movies. They know where to find me if they want me for the fifth.

Is there someone else do you think that could be the next Bond?

Oh, there will always be someone else. If I was the fifth [Bond], there can always be a sixth.

Is there another actor you think they will go with?

Yeah, I mean they’ve talked to Hugh Jackman and to Clive Owen – both actors are really fantastic and have the chops for it. I have no idea. I really don’t concern myself. I don’t lose sleep over it. I don’t wake up thinking, you know, ‘Am I going to be the next Bond?’ or ‘Is someone else going to be the next Bond.’ I have to let that one go, I really wouldn’t do myself any justice if I would lose sleep over it. If it’s the end of the ride, then so be it. I can move on and make films like "Evelyn," "Thomas Crown," or this movie… The movie has put me on a landscape on an international level, and for an actor, that’s a magnificent gift to have.[/eng]
