Which, technically, is a remake of Thunderball. The story of the legal wrangling over Thunderball can fill a book and would bore anyone but a rabid James Bond fan.
My takes on the Bonds:
Sir Sean Connery - The original, the best. There is no substitute.
George Lazenby - Diamond in the rough, had potential if he didn't take bad advice and piss off Cubby and Harry.
Sir Roger Moore - Not bad in his first outing ( Live and Let Die), went downhill rapidly until he hit rock bottom in the slapstick comedy that (IMNSHO) Moonraker was. Slight improvement noted until his last film ( A View to a Kill).
Timothy Dalton - Deadly serious approach to 007, but people weren't quite ready after years of Sir Roger.
Pierce Brosnan - A mix to please both the Connery and Moore camps, but the movies relied on way too much CGI special effects to carry the movie.

Sorry, I meant using Connery at his present age...
He's still a damned good actor...and a great voice.

LOL, my mom would probably camp out overnight to get tickets for THAT movie!!!
I can't believe Pierce Brosnan has been de-Bonded. He is so freakin' hot. I know, I know I tell my kids they're not to say "freakin" this or that but I can't help it; the man is freakin' hot.

His likeness and voice are featured in the upcoming video game by EA Games of From Russia With Love.
Just blows me away at how lifelike these video games are!

Pierce Brosnan IS Bond. After Sean Connery of course. I think they should have kept him.

Well, there's always the short films Owen did for BMW - "The Hire". http://www.bmwfilms.com . They're to be released on DVD soon, so they're only available for viewing until October 21. Watch "The Hostage" and tell me he wouldn't have made a fantastic Bond!
