Following the collapse of contract negotiations between film bosses and Brosnan, the 37-year-old restaurateur attended the read-through with producer Barbara Broccoli. This makes him a strong contender for the next Bond movie, the 21st, which is scheduled for release in November next year.

Roger Moore, the third official Bond, made way for Timothy Dalton nineteen years ago. A source says that his son Geoffrey would be the perfect choice. “Geoffrey is like a real-life Bond. He looks the part, too. He's a dashing upper-class restaurateur who lives a real jet-setting lifestyle. If anything, he is more like James Bond than his dad.”

Geoffrey’s lavish life-style includes spending plenty of time in the exclusive Swiss resort Gstaad – which would make him well-prepared for a role in like On Her Majesty's Secret Service, where 007 is forced to battle snow-capped mountains and treacherous avalanches.

Moore Junior also owns celebrity hangouts, restaurants Hush and Shumi in London, but he has acted in the past, with appearances including a part in secret agent escapade, Fit To Kill.

But, with an impressive spectrum of talent to pip to the post, Geoffrey will need more than his father’s reputation to win him the role. Hot contenders include King Arthur star Clive Owen, X-Men hunk Hugh Jackman (who, according to a survey done by Sky.com is the British public’s favourite) and Cold Mountain heart-throb Jude Law.

It is not confirmed whether Brosnan will branch off with cult moviemaker Quentin Tarantino to make their own version of a Bond film. At the Kill Bill press conference earlier this year, Tarnatino said: “I would love to do a movie version of the very first James Bond novel, Café Royale, which has never really been done as a movie. I’ve even talked with Pierce Brosnan about it “, he added, “and it wouldn’t be like the Bond movies they do now, it would be like the book.”

Halle Berry kept popping out of her skin tight costume for her latest Catwoman movie. The Oscar winning star admitted that although it was made of a new silicone fabric it just wasn’t flexible enough for her curves. “I can’t tell you how many times my pants split right open. Certain parts of my body were exposed,” revealed the 37-year old star. “I was having lots of Janet Jackson moments. You’re in a suit like that and you’re doing backflips and cartwheels – things are bound too happen.” In the movie, due out next month, Berry battles it out with Sharon Stone’s evil cosmetics firm.
