The twentieth film in the James Bond series,
"Die Another Day",
would also mark the 40th anniversary of the franchise and later
prove to be Pierce
Brosnan's swan song outing.
On January 11th 2002, the world's media was assembled for a photocall
and press conference at Pinewood Studios in England on the first
day of principal photography. Brosnan was joined by Halle
Berry for a television interview with Diane
Sawyer on Good Morning America.
The satellite delay, coupled with Brosnan suffering
a heavy cold, got things off to a slow start. Brosnan reveals
that he only met Berry for the first time that day, her casting
being left to the last minute (the next two films would see the
female lead cast after shooting started).
