Halle Bery said in a video interview with Wired that Pierce Brosnan “restored” her faith in men during the making of their James Bond movie, 2002’s “Die Another Day.” The action film marked Brosnan’s final outing as 007 after a seven-year run that kicked off with 1995’s “GoldenEye.” Berry played Bond girl Jinx in the movie.
“He will always be my Bond, always,” Berry said when asked about her experience on the movie. “I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan. He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.”
“Bond wasn’t on my wish list, no, not to be in one, but I loved the movies, always,” Berry continued. “Having been in one, I feel like I’m a part of cinematic history. … Those movies are iconic. They will forever be a part of our history, and I’m really honored to have been a part of one, especially with Pierce.”
Berry’s Jinx in “Die Another Day” proved to be such a fan favorite among Bond fans that franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson started planning for Berry to get her own spinoff movie. But Variety reported in 2020: “The plan was foiled when MGM got cold feet about the film’s $80 million budget. That decision left Broccoli incensed. One of her main goals as steward of 007 has been to shake off some of the chauvinism that characterized Bond’s appearances in the novels and early films.”
“It was very disappointing,” Berry later told Variety about losing the Jinx movie. “It was ahead of its time. Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star. They just weren’t sure of its value. That’s where we were then.”
Berry currently stars in the Netflix action movie “The Union” alongside Mark Wahlberg. Watch her Wired video interview in the post below.
The girl is good looking but quite simply cannot act. She cannot carry a lead.
Nice bod. That puzzled look reminds me of my labrador retriever.
*The girl is good looking but quite simply cannot act.*
Can’t drive either. Hit and run once.
Bedford High Grad and Cleveland girl.
She won her Oscar for “Monster’s Ball” with Billy Bob Thornton, Heath Ledger and Puff Daddy.
I hope the producers go back to the more traditional Bond if the series is rebooted again. Craig had no charm as Bond. He needs that along with the brute strength.
Daniel Craig was just ... wrong for the part.
Terrible casting.
He was too rough and ugly to be Bond. No finesse, no class. Just a “blunt instrument “ as M described him. They need to go back to the roots of the character. But they probably won’t. The next Bond will probably be a transsexual who takes on the evil white patriarchy. Tampon Tim will be the new M.

I love that car! And one of the best chase scenes in the series.
She did not fit in the movie.
It was a fun car - the 1971 had a higher compression engine (about 9.5-1) but by 1972 they had reduced it to 8.4-1
351 Cleveland - loved it
Before the 351M/400M series
Man I miss the 1970s
I do too! And the eighties.
Yeah, good times
I agree - the character was awkward
Seemed like it was shoe-horned in
Denise Richards wasn’t right for a Bond film and Keri Russell wasn’t right for an MI film with Tom Cruise
Yeah, it’s too bad they had to end.
