Brosnan wants Madonna for next movie, but she `retires` from acting

Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan wants Madonna as his next co-star, after being impressed by her performance in "Die Another Day" - reports The Sun.

The singer's movie career has attracted mixed reviews - but Pierce believes in her substantial talents.

He told Entertainment Weekly: "I thought she was underrated and I have a role in mind in which she would be great."

But the Queen of Pop may have other ideas. Madonna has reportedly called time on her acting career after a series of flop films.

According to The Guardian she told a reporter she felt no movie could now survive at the box office with the negative publicity generated by her involvement.

"What film can survive people saying it's going to be a bomb from the second it's announced?" she reportedly said. "Making movies is such an effort, and to do that over and over again, with the possibility that I am going to get the shit kicked out of me - and they really enjoy doing it - I mean, it doesn't make sense. I have sort of let it go."
