"All bets are off about the new James Bond - it looks like Pierce
Brosnan may be back as the suave super spy after all. According to
Internet reports, Sony bosses want Brosnan to return as 007 in the
next Bond film Casino Royale, and they're keen for him to star in one
more movie after that. A source tells website Darkhorizons.Com, "All
the stuff we heard about Brosnan being out is just a ploy from both
camps. The negotiations between Brosnan and Eon (Bond production
company) came to an end because, in the last year, things were up in
the air, thanks to all the organizational changes taking place.
Brosnan/Eon camps are still going through the motions of bluffing
each other: an echo of the old poker game that Cubby Broccoli (former
Bond boss) went through with Roger Moore - Moore frequently announced
that he wouldn't be back. The mood around Sony is that Brosnan will
be back. Hence, the reluctance of the filmmakers to come right out
and announce that they have parted ways with Brosnan. Sony are not in
a gambling mood. They could lose more with an unknown actor, or with
an experienced but unpopular actor. They're well aware that you just
can't place any actor in this role."
