‘…I don't know what's going to happen. I have no idea.’

Pierce Brosnan has just given yet another "opaque" interview to CHUD.com and added some more information to his recent "They don’t know what to do"-statement.

Q: But you’ve got one more dance with Bond – is there anything left to do with the character?

Pierce: Well, the dance…we seem to have taken a break at the moment. The producers have reached an impasse, as far as I can tell. They don’t know what to do. They don’t know how to move on. A sense of paralysis has set in. So, for me it’s business as usual. I shall just carry on with creating work for myself. I certainly would love to do a fifth Bond and then bow out, but if this last one is to be the last one, then so be it.

Q: We’ve discussed before Michael Wilson’s timidity to make a Bond movie in the vein of From Russia With Love and I think that’s a real problem…

Pierce: It’s frustrating, really, because they feel they have to top themselves in a genre which is just spectacle and huge bang for your buck. For me, I think you can have your cake and eat it. You can have real character work and real storylines and a thriller aspect and all the kind of quips and asides and explosions and the women. I love "From Russia With Love". It’s one of the finest pieces.

Q: So with the next one, would you want to cut back to a more For Your Eyes Only-type model? More simple, less effects-driven?

Pierce: More of a character-driven piece, yes. Certainly more of a character-driven piece and what is going to happen next in the story because now we’re just saturated – it’s wonderful the spectacle they create. It’s fantastic. But I love the last one and where it was going – until we got to Hong Kong and I was into the suit and into the old straitjacket of playing him.

Speaking of timidity; Brosnan sounds a lot like Sean Connery did after "You Only Live Twice" in 1967. Seems he’s a bit tired of playing "usual" Bond.

Q: If they changed it, you’d do more than one more?

Pierce: Oh, my contract is up. They can do it or not.

Q: You say there’s a paralysis – are they talking to someone else?

Pierce: They say they’re not talking to someone else…

Q: But they might not tell you?

Pierce (smiles a knowing smile): I’d be inclined to carry on if it were From Russia With Love or anything. Just, the fifth was there. We started talking about the fifth and so this paralysis that set in is rather surprising.

Q: But they finally got back the rights of Casino Royale, but [Wilson] said he wouldn’t dare film any of the story, so he just wants to scrap the novel and use the title.

Pierce: Well, that’s ludicrous. It’s absolutely sheer lunacy because Casino Royale is somewhat the blueprint for the Bond character anyway. If you go to that book, you find out more about James Bond than in any of the other books. But hey, they’re a wonderful family that’s done it their own way for many years and they’re at a point now where they’ve suffered a great loss in the passing of their mother. They’re an Italian family, an American family and they’re in the unique position that no one else in this community called Hollywood stands it – they have full control of this franchise. So, I don’t know what’s going to happen. I have no idea.

A lot to discuss about.

For Sale: One Moon Buggy

The original Moon Buggy from Diamonds Are Forever has been listed for sale on the popular online auction site eBay with a starting bid of £95,000.00 (approximately $172,624.50).

To view the auction in progress click HERE.

The 10 day auction ends on March 27, 2004 at 08:39:57 PST. The seller has included the following photo and information:

“The last remaining important vehicle from a James Bond film in private ownership, the Moon Buggy has a unique and impressive pedigree. Conceived by Oscar-Winning Production Designer Ken Adam, and built by legendary Hollywood film custom-car designer Dean Jefferies and his team, the Moon Buggy not only featured in a thrilling chase from Willard Whyte’s space complex in the Nevada desert but was also the centrepiece of the advertising campaign for Diamonds Are Forever worldwide, appearing on the poster and all press advertisements for the film. Unlike other famous film vehicles the Moon Buggy is truly unique – only one was ever built! Discovered languishing in a state of disrepair in the early Eighties, the Moon Buggy was refurbished in 1992 before being loaned to Planet Hollywood for display in their Las Vegas restaurant in Caesar’s Palace from 1993 to 2003, and is now in storage in the UK. The Moon Buggy is sold with provenance and an extensive portfolio of photographs charting its history.”

The Man Who Taught 007 to Drive on Ice

“The journey from Rovaniemi to Helsinki at this time of year took around twenty-four hours: that was providing there were no blizzards, and the roads did not become blocked. Erik Carlsson should make it easily, with his great skill and experience as a former rally driver.
He made it in staggering time. Bond had expected a wait but the girl at the reception was waving the keys, as if to prove the point.”

-Icebreaker, Chapter 6

So you think you know everything about James Bond, eh? Well, did you know that James Bond received several weeks of driving instruction from international rally racing star Erik Carlsson in preparation for his dangerous Arctic assignment in John Gardner’s novel Icebreaker? In this book, Carlsson not only acts at 007’s driving instructor, but also his “Q” up North, as Carlsson outfits and delivers Bond’s Saab 900 Turbo (“The Silver Beast”) to 007 while he’s on assignment in “the land of the rising sun.”

Now you can read all about the real-life Erik Carlsson in the new book, Mr. Saab, published by Page One Publishing and available from SaabCentral.com.

Unfortunately, the book does not recall the time Mr. Carlsson spent with John Gardner in the Arctic Circle (teaching the author how to drive a Saab in winter road conditions), but his eventful life makes for entertaining reading all the same. And when you come away from the book you will understand the wisdom of James Bond’s choice of “instructor.” One of Mr. Carlsson’s specialties is driving on ice — skills 007 found useful in not only Icebreaker, but also The Living Daylights and Die Another Day.

If it weren’t for Erik Carlsson…well…

Brosnan Speaks Out in Detail on His Future as Bond

Pierce Brosnan confirmed this morning on AMC’s Sunday Morning Shootout that his future as 007 is still very much in doubt. Pierce once again used the word ‘opaque’ but this time elaborated in more detail. When co-host Peter Bart asked if he was coming back for a fifth James Bond [Bond 21] film, this was his answer…

Brosnan: “That’s a good question, Peter. I don’t know. We’re in a very opaque land at the moment. I’m certainly willing to come back for a fifth and final one. But I think the producers are certain a kind of paralysis has set in. And they don’t know where to go, how to go with this film. So if it happens, great. If it doesn’t, I’ve done my four – the contract was for four…”

Peter Guber: “Do they have a script?”

Brosnan: “No, there’s no script.”

After a brief comment by Peter Bart on how Hollywood uses multiple screenwriters, Pierce concluded this section of interview with this…

Brosnan: “We set a fine bar there with the last picture. And from what I can gather from Barbara and Michael, they don’t know what to do.”

At the end of the show during the fade out, this exchange was overheard…

Peter Bart: “Good luck on the Bond film.”
Brosnan: “Thanks. If not, see you on Kauai [Brosnan has a house there].”
Peter Bart: “Unless they pay you a fortune.”
Brosnan then nods.

Brosnan appeared with director Bret Ratner (‘After the Sunset’) who confirmed that he was in the running to direct Die Another Day per Brosnan’s request.

Purvis & Wade Back For Bond 21

Robert Wade & Neal Purvis, the screenwriters who brought us The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day, will as well be writing for Bond 21.

Last night, March 8, at the Orange Screenwriters Seminar at the British Library in London the duo talked about writing for Bond…

PURVIS: “We started writing the new one two weeks ago – so obviously all the cliches are already in place. As far as we understand it, Pierce Brosnan is Bond. He’s a great Bond and he gives you a lot to work with as a writer because he’s very good looking. Seriously, he is very good at suggesting an undercurrent of – you don’t know what. He shows that there is a shadow on this man.”

WADE: “I don’t think there’s a more difficult task, it’s all been done. The twentieth film was harder than the nineteenth. It’s very difficult to think of new ways to blow things up! But character is the thing; it’s finding new ways to explore the character.”

The information about Brosnan being back, however, differs from information given to Commanderbond.Net recently. They also commented on the failed Jinx movie…

PURVIS: “We spent two months with Stephen Frears on it and it’s all down to the studio. Halle Berry was very happy, Stephen and the producers were happy and we were happy – but the studio didn’t want to make it. It was going to cost $80-90 million and Charlie’s Angels and Tomb Raider hadn’t done well, so they didn’t want to risk it.”
