Brosnan's Bond to retire

The most successful 007 of all, Pierce Brosnan, is being pensioned off as James Bond!

Producers have decided that, at 50, he is not attracting young fans and so they will be recruiting a successor for the next film. On the short- list for one of the most sought-after roles in Hollywood are Hugh Jackman, Jude Law, Christian Bale, Orlando Bloom and Colin Farrell.
