I'll still wait for an official statement. But if it is true, which wouldn't surprise me, that sucks. I thought he always wanted to do one more though.
I remember hearing talks of Clive Owen or Hugh Jackman to take the role. Ehh...I'd prefer Clive to Hugh, only because he just seemes more the part, in some way I can't put my finger on, IMO.
Colin would be pretty cool too I guess.
Damn, Brosnan was second best after Connery. He will be hard to follow that's for damn sure.
