And they said Pierce can't be badass?! He's ten times badass than anyone ever was as of recently!

Badass has never been a word I would associate with Brosnan, and I don't think that will change. Take a look at Liam Neeson, now look at Brosnan. Neeson can play tough. Brosnans forte is as a nu age Cary Grant, not as a nu age Robert Mitchum.

Still, Milla has the lead in Survivor, so it has my interest.

Brosnan is very tough in Taffin and The Fourth Protocol.

Ah, Taffin...

Yes, well I have seen both of those films, and I would have to disagree with you. Brosnan have never been convincing when he has tried to play it tough.

He did convince me enough. Actually, he was dominating Liam Neeson in Seraphim Falls. The only thing I'll never understand is the hatred towards Brosnan coming through some people. If you disagree, then let's agree to disagree. That's all I can say.

IMDb says he dropped out due to a scheduling conflict and was replaced by the real Jason Bourne (Matt Damon). Box Office Mojo describes the film's opening weekend as "solid". Other wide releases with similar opening weekends have typically made $75-80 million overall domestically. With a $70 million production budget, it should show a profit once international sales are taken into account.

Don't judge the actor by his previous works. Take Michael Keaton, for example. When he became Batman, there were a lot of protesting among fans due to a comedic actor in a serious and gritty role, but in the end, the results were surprising. And Drake, I understand you despise Keaton's Bat as much as Bale's.

No, FBF. I don't despise Keaton's Batman. He was good, but not as good as Kevin Conroy. So, no worries there. And I've no problem with Bale's Batman, just the films that he's in. The only Batman I truly despise is George Clooney's, and he was bloody well wasted, such a good actor in a godawful movie.

I don't hate Brosnan, I just don't worship the ground he walks on.


I still think Brosnan was surprisingly good in Bag Of Bones (his best performance imo).

It's a well-worn trope in action movies.

If Bond has to be a Brit, send in either Wade Barrett or Sheamus.

Henry Cavill is nowhere to be found in the news and neither is Cr-egg, yet Pierce has a busy slate in 2014...........go figure that.

if you can get your oceans buddy the original Bourne of course you got go with him.

Busy schedule riiight. I'm vaguely aware of when the shooting happened and Craig wasn't doing a thing, he had the play but that was rehearsals in October. That's why I thought he'd be in it still.

So it breaks down like this Craig gets a fat check and Craig does nothing for years until the next fat check comes in. Got to hand if to Moore , Connery , Dalton , and Brosnan in down years they kept busy.

For a WWII movie monuments men is doing ok I guess. Lego is kicking butt opening more than the budget not counting the other costs we talk about all the time.
I get the $60 million for Lego, who in their right mind thought $70 millin was a good idea for a type of movie that hasn't been successful since saving private Ryan ,, again with Mattttt Daaaammmooonnn.
Maybe all Clooney had to say is making a WWII movie with Damon and he walked out with bags of money.
