Brosnan: I won't be in Austin Powers film

Pierce Brosnan will not be appearing in Austin Powers 3.

Brosnan was reported to be making a cameo appearance in the film, called Goldmember.

But his spokesman has denied there's any possibility of him appearing in the film.

Dick Guttman says Brosnan is about to start work on his new film Evelyn, and once that is finished he will begin making the new Bond movie straight away.

"I don't know where these stories come from" Guttman said.

"Pierce is in Ireland until Christmas, then will be starting work on the new Bond so I don't even know where he would get the time. His calendar is gone for the next year already."
