Brosnan finished as Bond

(thanks to Mr Zog for the heads up on this one)

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Pierce Brosnan reveals that he is finished playing James Bond, the character he portrayed in four films going back to 1995.

“That’s it,” Brosnan told EW.com. “I’ve said all I’ve got to say on the world of James Bond. Bond is another lifetime behind me.”

So, who would you like to see play the next James Bond?

There are all sorts of ramblings, including the idea of making Bond younger. I think that is a mistake. Bond needs to be in his late 30’s at the very least. Mr. Zog suggests Colin Firth, and I think he’s a fine choice - and that has nothing to do with the fact that Firth’s a Gooner.

UPDATE: - According to Ananova, Orlando Bloom has signed to play a college-aged James Bond, in a sort of ” origin-story” film.

All I can say to that is, “Hunh?”
