<p> LONDON (Reuters) - The producers of the James Bond films have denied rumors that movie star Pierce Brosnan will be replaced as the super smooth secret agent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Tabloids and several Web sites reported this week that Brosnan, 48, was to be replaced by little known Scottish actor Gerard Butler.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> "It just isn‘t true and I wish these rumors would stop. We have been inundated with calls all week,‘‘ a spokeswoman for the Bond producers, Michael G.
Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, told Reuters.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Pierce Brosnan will play James Bond in the forthcoming production and for the foreseeable future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Butler himself had fueled the speculation by confirming the story in Scotland‘s Daily Record on Monday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The story was repeated on a web site where Butler was quoted saying the "news‘‘ had been announced on CNN.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The spokeswoman admitted that Butler, who is currently starring in Wes Craven‘s Dracula 2001, was bound to be embarrassed by today‘s announcement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> "Barbara hasn‘t even spoken to him (Butler) but I‘m sure he‘s just as embarrassed by this as we are.‘‘</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Brosnan is due to start filming the next Bond film -- currently untitled -- at London‘s Pine Wood studios in January.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The Irishman has played lady-killer Bond in three movies ‘‘The World Is Not Enough,‘‘ "Tomorrow Never Dies‘‘ and "Golden Eye.‘‘ </p>
