Bond’s Due Date

Proving once and for all that he's just an actor and in no way, shape or form a member of Her Majesty's Secret Service, Pierce Brosnan was giving away secrets left, right and centre about the new Bond film this weekend. In an interview with ShowbizIreland, Brosnan confirmed that the start date for the next Bond movie would be in January. 'We finish [shooting his current movie Evelyn] on December 17th and Bond starts shooting on January 13th with a short break over Christmas. Contractually that's it. Once the floodgates were open, Brosnan was happy to clear up other rumours - one being that the next Bond movie would film in his native Ireland. 'Reports that parts of the Bond film will be shot in Ireland are just rumors, unfortunately Ireland will not feature in the next Bond film.' And what about Brosnan - how many more Bond films will he be shooting? 'They have me for three with the option for a forth and this is the option. I don't know where it's going to go after this. As for a fifth Bond, I'd like to do one - I've never really got them too tightly about a fifth.'
