I agree. I also read that Brosnan was demanding $54 million for the next film.
I just can't imagine why they went for a new Bond.
/Sarcasm
It was a real disappointment for me when I saw the "real" Pierce Brosnan for the 1st time. If I remember correctly it was when he was becoming a citizen and started spouting the liberal Hollywood nonsense. I'd always read the stories about his loss of his first wife, and had him catalogued as "one of the good guys." I'm Irish and was quite pleased when someone commented on how my oldest son looked quite a bit like Pierce Brosnan. Now I say "no, he actually looks like the Italian side of the family"! LOL
Brosnan actually asked for $54 Million to do another film?!?! He wasn't that good!!
