Four-time James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan will appear in the new Johnny English spy spoof move later this year. "Johnny English Reborn" is a sequel to the original 2003 blockbuster. Little is known about Brosnan's character 'Ambrose'.

Roawn Atkinson will be reprising his role as the hapless 'MI-7' spy, when he goes up against international assassins hunting down the Chinese premier. The film is due for release in September, and features Bond girl Rosamund Pike who starred "Die Another Day" - Brosnan's final outing as 007 in 2002.


<i>Note: The video incorrectly places the behind-the-scenes footage as Japan, when it is actually Hong Kong.</i>

<b>Synopsis</b>
Rowan Atkinson returns to the role of the accidental secret agent who doesn't know fear or danger in the comedy spy-thriller Johnny English Reborn. In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty's Secret Service must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI-7's top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect us all.

    Interesting. From that footage it looks like they will be parodying the new reboot Bond, and from the casino and dock scenes it looks like Casino Royale and QOS will both be parodied specifically.

    I wonder if Rosamund Pike and Brosnan's characters in this film will have any connection to their DAD roles.

    From the video, it looks really good. I'm not sure if RA can do anything wrong actually. I loved the first one and hopefully this one will be just as good!

    I hated the first one, I thought it was the worst, lamest, poor excuse of a movie I've ever had the misfortune to watch...no wait, sorry I was forgetting about DAD for a moment! :)

    Hopefully Brosnan and Pike point fun at DAD and acknowledge just how bad the film was in this parody.

    That's great to know. I'm looking forward to this and I'm not ashamed to admit it. It's gratifying to know after years of Atkinson saying there will be a second Johnny English that there actually will be and he stuck to his word.

    It's been a long time since I watched Johnny English, but I remember it was fun. Maybe I should give it another watch...
    Brosnan's appearance in the sequel could be interesting. As @Bond said, I'd like to see him together with Pike again. Hell, even a DAD reference would be fine with me!
