Pierce Brosnan Wants Theron Instead Of Jolie In The Thomas Crown Affair
Can you IMAGINE having to work with Pierce Brosnan after reading a quote where he tells the press he would rather someone else have your role?
Angelina Jolie is about to be placed in that very situation as Pierce recently told People Magazine that he is upset that Angelina signed on for The Thomas Crown Affair. He much rather work with Charlize Theron.
"Charlize Theron is someone who I’ve always admired. I think she’s someone who has acquitted herself grandly. Nothing against Angelina Jolie. I think she’s a magnificent actress. But Charlize has a poise about her and has an inner strength and femininity which I really like to watch."
This will either make Angelina want to take the role more to prove something to Pierce, or give it up as she really doesn't need the money. We shall see.

I don't think it sounds like he's not wanting to work with Angelina. I'd have to see the rest of the interview to understand what he means because it doesn't sound like he thinks she's wrong for the part, he's just praising Charlize as someone he admires.

Peirce honey, you need to stay out of the sun. When I was in Kauai a couple of weeks ago I took a helicopter tour and we flew near his house. We didn't go directly over it, as we stayed over the water. The pilot said that a few stars had homes in that area and Peirce was one of them. I did get a good look at his beach. I think he thought he thought Angelina was wrong for the part. Angelina does not give off a soft, feminine look, if that is what he wants.

I think he should have keep it to himself since Angie was already on board. If they had not picked anyone for the part yet, then I would not have seen anything wrong with him saying who he would have liked for the part. That is going to be weird on the set now, once she hears what he said.
Sounds he's saying Theron is much more of a lady than Holie. Understandable.
EXACTLY =)

I would much rather see Theron with the part than Jolie too.
everyone's entitled to their opinion. its refreshing to hear that someone else is getting the part besides jolie.

I think it is a bit of a bad idea to address this publicly after the decision has already been made. Tacky. However, I agree with his opinion of Charlize and probably would want to see her instead.

Uh-oh, watch Pierce's effigy get burnt by the rabid Just Jared crowd.....LOL

Amen to that!!!!!!!!!

I'd rather see Theron in a movie over Jolie. Angelina's antics just ruined her for me.
I bet when Angelina was cast in that movie...Pierce's wife went through the roof! Who wants their husband working with a know husband stealer who falls in love with her co-stars? Maybe he is down playing working with Angelina to make home a little more sane.
C.Mo I hope that was aimed at the spammer and not me!

I agree with him except that Jolie is a magnificent actress. Charlize is much prettier and a way better actress.
completely disagree. It is the other way around.
Good for Pierce for stating the obvious...Angelina Jolie cannot ACT her way OUT of a paper bag!
Well, everyone is entitled to an opinion but you don't really say this in public about your work colleague, do you? I like Charlize Theron, she's gorgeous and a very good actress. But so is Angelina Jolie. It really depends on the roles they get, some are obviously more suited than others. That goes for both Charlize and Angelina.

Agree as well that it was quite unnecessary of him to open his yapper when Angelina had already signed on to do the movie. And in all fairness, Angelina probably wanted to act opposite someone else as well. I don't know about you guys, but to me Pierce Brosnan's not really the epitome of "good actor", quite the opposite. I've seen him in a few films and I always find him so stiff and unable to convey any emotions... Maybe it's just me though. Either way, I think Angelina's enough of a professional to ignore whatever negative comments people throw her way, but who really cares if he wanted Charlize instead? Now he's getting Angie - no matter how non-feminine she is.
How stupid can one be? To voice an opinion like this in public after the part was cast? Seems Mr Brosnan doesn't have much pull, if he doesn't have a say about co-stars in his own movie. Too bad for him too that his publicist had nothing better to do than to run to People and blab! I wonder if PB can deal with the ridicule of his fellow thesps...

He's probably afraid of being swallowed up in the hysteria that surrounds Angie's every move, and all the talk about her family. He would be a second class citizen on that movie, as far as press coverage is concerned, and he knows it. He wouldn't have that problem with Charlize.
Tacky, tacky, tacky. He knew that Angelina had already signed on and he probably knew that she would hear what he was saying about her. I'm guessing this is some sort of power play. Actors get all worried about being upstaged and who is getting more attention than them. He probably does things like this to try to intimidate who he is working with. And Charlize? She always looks like a mannequin to me. Gross.
Angelina plays herself over and over again...the femme fatale thing with very little depth. Charlize is beyond brilliant. Remember "Monster" I don't blame him at all.
Then you obviously haven't seen every film Angelina's been in then, have you? A mighty heart? Don't quite think that character outline you described fits in there.
No you are right it doesn't. Still, in my opinion, Charlize is able to morphe a lot better. Angelina always looks like Angelina to me.
A Mighty Heart and the voice overs are semi-exceptions to the rule. In all of her "actings" she is melodramatic. She was ridiculous in Wanted. She had a sour puss on the whole time and called it acting. She did not look tough, rather constipated. The real problem is that Jolie can't act. Her one accent for every non-Jolie character that she plays is stupid. (A Mighty Heart, Troy, Beowul, etc). She sounds like that russian spy from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.
Absolutely agree on the accent. Always the same trying to be sexy thing. Charlize is hands down the better actress.
agree. the voice overs are just cartoons anyway. when i took my niece to see kung fu, the entire line was filled with parents and their children. children loves cartoons and parents love movies that are family friendly. i doubt all does ppl were seeing the movie because angie was doing a voice over.
Ha ha! You're right about Angie's attempt at an accent. Natasha Badanov!
Angelina was terrible in Mighty Heart. Everybody keeps referring to this movie. I am not sure is it because she played someone who really exists and went through this tragedy and it rubbed off on Angelina. But common, this woman has no depth in acting at all.
