Recent reports Are favourable. During the promotional grind for i Cir a Sho looked very Good. The latest on screen product of Brosnan s fresh commitment to entertainment american style is based on the classic i Ules Verne Story and is far longer in screen time than the idea Erica movie that cleaned up in the 1956 Oscar Derby. The film was to air this week in the United states. Bro Nan Sald he appreciated the change of Pace Between Noble House and i or Tom and added no he is not trying to displace Richard Chamberlain As Lin King of the miniseries forma t. I do think if one is going to do a ministries i be come to the conclusion make it a comedy a Light comedy As opposed to drama because they really Are quite brutal on you and especially if you Are playing the Load or principal role he said. It lakes slaying Power and having to Pace yourself really because they do take up three months of your life they can be quite brutal but if you re going to do in do a Light comedy As opposed to a dramatic one Brosnan acknowledged thai his yen to do features almost led him to say no to world you know egos within actors Are funny things and i Ali ought no no i Don l want to do to again. I want to do feature films. But i by gun to weigh the balance of it All and then the writ ers is Rike came about and i thought now you have to be practical now Brosnan and i would have been a fool to say no and kind of wait out for the the movies Haven t quite happened yet for Brosnan. "1 would t say it s kind of Laken off yet he said of his film career. Knowing he would face continued questioning about missing Oul on the Bond rate he received counsel from Cassandra. She said now t hey re going to ask you about the Bond " he recalled. And she said what Are you going to Sayf and i said Well i m going to Tell them to shul up she said Well that s a Good answer " hut seriously he knows that the deceivers and far from first rate. One thing i be Learned from doing those and that is Don l get into filming them until it s absolutely right "1 mean Taffy a the script was ill founded and i went Inlo it and thought Well i la go into Ireland it s my Home country i la have six weeks there and ill be great and what the he had higher Hopes for the deceivers but did l want to talk about in faults for fear of being unfair my audience people who a jul to see me i realize want to see me doing i guess Light comedy something Light sophisticated and what i be built up Over the Yoasi on fiem Nylon steels tptl2q,lsb9
