bed’. A couple of months later one of the girls found Laws of Attraction. It was originally set in L.A., and then we moved it to New York. And when we put the picture together we financed it through Ireland. We were going in one direction with one fellow, and it all fell apart. So, I thought it was going to go down the tubes, and Peter Howard came in. Suddenly these characters, which were rather brittle and had cynicism, had warmth. It was kind of an old fashioned tip of the hat to Tracy and Hepburn, which was what we were trying to get in the first place”.

A good portion of Laws of Attraction takes place in Brosnan’s native Ireland. The setting creates a romantic atmosphere on screen as well as complimenting Brosnan and Moore themselves. Ireland is quickly becoming a flourishing nation and Brosnan spoke about the turns the country has taken.

“With healthy economics come more people, more progress, roads, and buildings. It’s a tiny land with the most majestic countryside. So you see that being ripped apart...it’s always difficult. I love Ireland, and it wasn’t even my idea to film in Ireland. I wanted to film this movie in New York. I love New York. We had a great success there with The Thomas Crown Affair, and I wanted to bookend it with a lighter romantic film. Suddenly there was a financial meeting one morning and somebody said we should go to Ireland. Next thing is, were going to Ireland. I’m very proud of the film and that it went there”.

After watching Brosnan jump off the screen as the witty and passionate Daniel Rafferty you can’ help but see the difference between this and his other noted roles…and I think you know the four letter word I am talking about.

“I’m not James Bond, I wish I was James Bond. I play James Bond, but my life is more like Daniel Rafferty’s life. My life is more of a comedy on a day-to-day basis. It’s interesting how you create images for yourself. I suppose I must have wished it, and wanted it. I suppose that when I set sail here twenty years ago with Remington Steele that has kind of stuck. Before I did Remington Steele , Bob Butler who directed the first one said, ‘We’re doing an old comedy here’. I loved the movies of Carey Grant, and Spencer Tracy was one of my favorite actors. So, I looked at a lot of those movies about five weeks before doing the show. Maybe something stuck”.

No Pierce Brosnan interview can go without a question as to the next Bond project. There has been some controversy as to whether Brosnan will return as James Bond. When asked if he had any recommendations
