Brosnan talks about his broken and beaten Bond again

17-Sep-2002 • Die Another Day

Pierce Brosnan talked to Empire Online recently, and again pushed the captured and torture scenario. Bond is captured by Colonel Moon after he fails to escape to the South Korean border in the pre-titles hovercraft chase.

This new angle on the Bond character, beaten and bedraggled, is sure to attract interest from general movie goers who might have thought "Die Another Day" was going to be a run-of-the-mill Bond:

Gone will be the cool, unruffled ease and charm of our favourite secret agent, his calm under fire and flippant attitude in the face of death a distant, nostalgic memory. Instead, Brosnan commented, "This time you see a much more desperate character in Bond. You see this renegade, a man completely out of his environment." What, no martinis, pristine suits and cocked eyebrows? "He`s in a situation that you`ve never seen Bond in before," Brosnan goes on, "so vulnerable and broken, as it were, because he`s captured and tortured in the beginning of the film."

Thanks to `Umpire` for the alert.
