007's SOS

Former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, has just been confirmed to play the role of Sam opposite Meryl Streep in the movie version of Mamma Mia!. This should be interesting: I've never liked him as an actor, and he's my least favourite Bond of all, but the prospect of seeing him duet with Streep on S.O.S. is something even I'm looking forward to. The film is being directed by Phyllida Lloyd and is being executively produced by Tom Hanks, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Judy Craymer. The movie Mamma Mia! is expected to open on July 18, 2008.
