Just a snippet from Reuters. Today MGM was keeping tight lipped about the future star of their James Bond franchise.

MGM Vice Chairman Chris McGurk told reporters and financial analysts the company and EON are still developing the 21st Bond film in the 42 year-old series. A script was complete, a director was being hired and then they would see about Bond.

'At that point, we're going to address the casting issues. It's the same process we went through with 'Die Another Day,'' which was the most recent Bond movie, McGurk said.

'We're deep in development, and right now, we're still targeting November 2005' as the release date, he added.

Insiders speculate Pierce Brosnan may have made the comment regards no longer playing the role, to Entertainment Weekly, to give him more leverage in negotiations.
