Producer Barbara Broccoli says they are not looking for a Brosnan replacement

Yahoo are reporting that producer Barbara Broccoli has stepped up to the plate to bat against the fast pitched rumours suggesting possible replacements for Pierce Brosnan:

"It`s like asking a bride as she`s going up the aisle who her next husband is going to be," Broccoli said. "I mean, he is James Bond. He`s our guy. And until he`s no longer James Bond, we ain`t looking anywhere."

Broccoli said she believes the popularity of the "Austin Powers" spy spoof film series has boosted the staying power of the 40-year-old James Bond franchise.

"They tend to, I think, reflect the early Bond, the first sort of three or four. I don`t think they spoof the current ones so much," she said. "They`re so popular, Austin Powers, I think it just helps people enjoy going to the movies and this sort of genre."
