Pierce Brosnan tips Clive Owen for James Bond role and offers advice

In a brief interview with Time Magazine, Pierce Brosnan has named his preference to succeed him as James Bond 007.

How do you feel saying goodbye to Bond?

A great sense of achievement, that a generation was introduced to Bond through my tenure. I feel liberation from it too. Creatively there are people who see you as more of a hindrance [to a movie] because you're Bond. And a disappointment in the way it was handled--to be invited back and then uninvited back. But that's the way it goes down. I've said more than enough.

Who should get the next license to kill?

Clive Owen would be a fantastic James Bond. Any man who does it will have to weigh his odds--whether he can get in and get out.

Thanks to `Agent JM7` for the alert.
