Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in Die Another Day

Summary Die Another Day director Lee Tamahori reveals that a returning James Bond character almost appeared in the film, but the actor turned it down. Serving as Pierce Brosnan's final outing as 007, Die Another Day was released in 2002, following the character as he attempts to take down a diamond mogul attempting to build a devasting satellite weapon.

She didn't wanna play a small part. … After Crouching Tiger and all that, she had moved on in stature.
