The latest newsletter from the James Bond International Fan Club states:

“Although the media reports that Pierce has had enough of the ongoing Bond debate and ruled himself out – I have heard rumours that some further negotiations may have just taken place and he may still be back for the new film due for release in 2006. Don’t rule him out just yet – that’s all I can say on the subject!!”
