28-Mar-2011 • Actor News

Four-time James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan will appear in the new Johnny English spy spoof move later this year. "Johnny English Reborn" is a sequel to the original 2003 blockbuster. Little is known about Brosnan's character 'Ambrose'.

Rowan Atkinson will be reprising his role as the hapless titular 'MI-7' spy, when he goes up against international assassins hunting down the Chinese premier. The film is due for release in September, and features Bond girl Rosamund Pike who starred in "Die Another Day" - Brosnan's final outing as 007 in 2002.

Note: The video incorrectly places the behind-the-scenes footage as Japan, when it is actually Hong Kong.
