66 is too young Never read any of his books but I hear they're good.

I've read about three of his books, forget their titles, except for The Hunt for Red October ... quite realistic in both the character of the Russian sub commander and the technology. I guess Clancy was one of the first writers to write sub thrillers. Nowadays there's plenty of sub-books, you can almost call it a sub-genre! I've been out of the loop so just heard here that he's passed on. Yeah, 66 is too young. Here's to you, Mr Clancy

R.I.P. Tom Clancy

As a former Submariner myself I found his books very technically correct and so did the Navy which is why they had to ask him to tone it down as a few real life technical specs found their way in to some of his novels!

Always enjoyed his books myself, my father himself is a former Sergeant Major, and he introduced me to Clancy's books. RIP Tom Clancy. One of the greatest writers I've ever known.

He was a military buff and it showed, it's rare for the military to get a fair depiction in fiction and I don't know anybody who thought Tom Clancy didn't get it.

I read his last two books that dealt with post 9/11 and finding UBL, jack Jr spin offs in a way. He sort if over simplified some parts of it but he got why so many were willing to serve.

He also got how things can get so f'd up. Even in agency's and organizations trying to do it right. You know like how the army is never wrong and still f things all to hell.

BTW Brosnan has another high profile movie get, on my phone so I can't post it. But it's being talked up big time. I know it probably just pr hype but in the last two weeks he's got some good roles it seems.

One of them will feature Milla Jovovich as his co-star.

[Gala Brand]

Does anybody know what happened to "A Long Way Down" in which Brosnan played a suicidal TV celebrity? Production was finished about a year ago. Seems like it should've been released by now. Certainly sounds like the kind of role Brosnan would excel in.

Wasn't it a detective series?

Why this sudden outburst of Brosnan flicks? What has he been thinking since DAD ended? He should have been doing this the past 10 years MIKE FLEMING JR 20 hours ago


EXCLUSIVE: Millennium Films has set Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan, Emma Thompson and Angela Bassett to star in Survivor, a thriller that James McTeigue will direct starting January 20 in London. Charles Winkler and Irwin Winkler are producing. Phil Shelby wrote the script.

Jovovich plays a State Department employee newly posted to the American embassy in London, where she is charged with stopping terrorists from getting into the U.S. That puts her right in the line of fire and she is targeted for death and framed for crimes. Discredited, she is forced to go on the run while she tries to clear her name and stop a large-scale terrorist attack set for New Year’s Eve in Times Square.

WONDERFUL NEWS, BJ!! THANKS!!
Oh well, he was waiting for the right time to attack Babs.

And I still don't know why he was cast into this:

Is it possible FBF that a Bond contract prohibits that person from making any spy genre films for a decade once they are terminated?

Or maybe Pierce is waiting to strike like Drake said.

Not only he has been away from spy films but also action films in general. A decade is long enough already.

[John P. Drake]

Stallone had the same case in the 2000s. He stopped making movies because he was losing spotlight. So he took a break for a while, then returned with John Rambo, the fourth installment in the Rambo series, and it was a box-office blockbuster. Then, he got his spotlight back. Pierce is treating his career the same way.

[kater23]

All those Pierce Brosnan movies are *definitely* an "F you" to Babs.

I think that started with Rocky Balboa

Pierce is treating his career the same way.

For someone who is the best and most popular since Sean but didn't have any classic Bond aside from GE, it would be just wrong just to end his spotlight and his action hero days permanently after getting booted from Bond.

[Blowfeld]

Came across a picture of Benedict Cumberbatch for Esquire and althou I do not consider him Bond material he has a Bondish look. Where as Daniel looks like a ex-boxer someone stuffed in expensive ill fitting attire.

[FormerBondFan]

Now this is James Bond or better to say James Bond whose look that is no longer relevant anymore.
