Pierce Brosnan gave an interview on the first day of shooting his fourth 007 film and imagined a very different outcome of what would ultimately become 'Die Another Day'...
On the first day of filming on "Die
Another Day" on 11th January 2002, James Bond star Pierce
Brosnan gave a press interview about his
fourth outing as 007. How wrong could any individual be about
what they thought a project would
become and how it would ultimately turn out? Brosnan gives an
unfortunate masterclass in just over ten minutes.
Speaking about a schedule that was packed with "wall
to wall action", and the risk of the action overwhelming
the movie, Brosnan said of the director: "Lee [Tamahori]
is a good man for pulling this down and keeping it a reality
based, character driven piece." Ten years later, Brosnan
would laugh about the over the top elements of the film for the
50th anniversary documentary "Everything or Nothing: The
Untold History of 007".
"Good script. It's got lots of strange ambiance
of...
tonally it has a quality I haven't read before in a Bond movie"
