I do hope that Daniel Craig presents alongside Pierce....it be a great excuse to get two Bonds on stage together.
also, never understood the Brosnan hate. He was the first Bond i saw in the cinemas. I always thought he was James Bond. He's also undeniably the most handsome 007, he is easily the sexiest actor to play the role (as gorgeous as Fleming imagined) but he has an air of mystery, a hint of danger. Perhaps because he played the role with a slightly knowing wink. But he was so darn charming. He's the 'tall, dark and handsome' ideal. born to be a leading man...
Just look at his hair!
I miss those days. I know Craig is considered 'sexy but not classically handsome', but I still have a hard time seeing the Bond vibe come from Craig, in the same way as is predecessors. Of course, a whole generation now will see Craig as Bond, and when they look at Brossa they'll think "he's much too fresh-faced, Bond is supposed to be rugged".
I hope this happened....though I think they will probably pair him with Ana De Armas as part of Knives Out and for a shameless plug of No Time to Die. It's a big audience watching, so expect some ind of NTTD hype.
Quentin Tarantino has had some interesting things to say about Pierce Brosnan over the years...

Tarantino said: “Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, then just a little under him, Roger Moore.
“And then everybody else. Connery’s at the top, but I really, really like Pierce Brosnan.
“I didn’t care for the movies that they put him in, which I always thought was a bit of a tragedy, because I thought he was a very legitimate Bond.
“I’m a huge Roger Moore fan – I just like Roger Moore a little better when he’s not playing Bond.”
I can see why Tarantino gravitates to Pierce. he has a classic 'movie star' look - something that Tarantino has romanticised in his cinema. He's tall, dark and handsome. something mysterious but with a wink of self-awareness.
The rougher and more 'edgy' Daniel Craig is almost a total 180 degree turn from that idea.
He isn't wrong that he was the first to float CR back in 2004 and the Broccoli's took his heed. Though claiming it was all 'his idea' is a little grandiose. Though, I'd have loved to see him do a Bond with Pierce. That would have rocked.
I think if Tarantino was casting the next Bond, he'd sway towards a Michael Fassbender or even....Henry Cavill type. They have theclassic movie-star looks. the former is a renowned talent, but the latter has a certain energy similar to Brosnan.
I really hope this is the way EON are looking for the next actor, but it's probably unlikely. I can see them staying away from the classic movie-star looks kind of actors to cast a Craig 2.0 type.
I'd would also love a Tarantino Bond film, but that's not happening. Although, I'm sure Tarantino would be up for it, if asked. He could even write the film. I do hope he makes a film with Brosnan though – that would probably equal or surpass my excitement for a new Bond film.
I would love to see Brosnan and Craig in the same film together. I am still shocked that for the past 52 years (since Lazenby was cast), no film has ever featured multiple Bond actors. As I wrote in the Craig appreciation thread, I really hope that if a sequel to Knives Out gets made, that they will add Brosnan in the cast as a murder suspect.

Pretty much. A much somber ending is probably something EON is too afraid of, which is why even in QOS when Bond leaves the necklace behind the gun barrel the blares out, as if an attempt to put audiences out on a higher note but IMO it killed the mood of the scene.
He's being a little facetious when claiming EON took his heed. He had actually been talking up doing CR even waaaay before 2004. Here's a video of a critics round table covering the film releases of December 1997, where they eventually start talking about TND which all the critics including Tarantino dismiss negatively. Tarantino then goes on a tangent about how he's always wanted to do CR. He even suggested his Felix Leiter would be played by Samuel L. Jackson. This was years before EON would obtain the film rights to the novel, and to my understanding Tarantino actually tried to fight for the book rights in order to make that film for his own. Ultimately, EON won out.

Skip to 12:19 and that's when they bring up TND and then Tarantino starts talking about CR.
Anyway, this is the Pierce Brosnan appreciation thread, and I recently saw him in 'the foreigner'. A film with Jackie Chan. I didn't expect much, but both men shine in this film. It's far more gritty and realistic than what I'd expect from the cast, and what a performance they give!
Brosnan plays the role of irish politician who's cought in the middle as a militant part of the IRA starts new attacks in which civillians die. Amongst whom the daughter of a Chinese restaurant owner.
That Brosnan is such a big fan of Le Carré says a lot for me with regards to how far they brought his Bond away from what he thought it was going to be.
I watched SERAPHIM FALLS the other night and both Brosnan and Neeson were outstanding in it. A very good film that came and went with no fuss and deserved more attention heaped on it. The opening scene, featuring Broz cauterising a gunshot wound, is horrific in its accuracy. He sells the desperation wonderfully.
I love Brosnan in this film. I always wished he'd played his Bond a bit more like Julian Noble.
Reminiscent of his Crusoe.
:)) Nice one Pierce! :-bd

God, I try, I really try not to use funny Brosnan images as my user avatar, but he makes it so difficult! :))
Bond fans can watch Brosnan live on Esquire UK’s social media pages found on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube from 7pm BST on Sunday, April 19.

Who knows. It took Tom cruise 34 years to make top gun: maverick.
Can't agree with the esquire ranking. The foreigner should be far higher. As they say, it looks far worse on paper, but is actually fantastic.
I did find it funny how several of the explanations for the rankings of the Brosnan films are simply the same Taffin video over and over again.
