Real reason this was Brosnans last


They put him in prison for 14 months so he said ok, if you are going to treat me like that then fine. I will get out and finish the movie but don't expect a 5th film. He said he wouldn't do another due to incarceration. Can't blame him. How would you feel being locked up for over a year? Didn't even let him have access to scissors or a razor or barber

You can argue that the negative response DAD was in part due to the Bond producers' failure to adapt to the changing modern world which Bond is suppose to be living in:
-kind of became the film that Austin Powers should have taught us not to make

-Brosnan's age becomes even more noticeable with advancements in cinema like HD or digital cameras

-competition from other films like Bourne, prequels/reboots became the trend with more serious tones "why so serious?"

It was because of 9/11. And a new direction had to be taken.

I really hate it when North Korea captures, tortures and denies haircut and shaving rights to James Bond.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
