The real reason Pierce Brosnan was fired as James Bond, ‘kicked to the kerb’ by producers in favour of Daniel Craig

Hindustan Times  

Actor Pierce Brosnan appeared in four James Bond films, ending with the highest-grossing entry in the franchise, Die Another Day. In an interview featured in the Some Kind of Hero: The Remarkable Story of the James Bond Films, by Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury, the actor said that he was shocked when Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson told him his tenure was up. “I sat in Richard Harris’s house in the Bahamas, and Barbara and Michael were on the line —‘We’re so sorry.’ She was crying, Michael was stoic and he said, ‘You were a great James Bond. I was utterly shocked and just kicked to the kerb with the way it went down.” According to the book, negotiations broke down because Brosnan wanted too much money to return for another James Bond film.
