Angelina Jolie was rumoured (back in 2008) to act in Thomas Crown Affair 2 but Pierce Brosnan prefer Charlize Theron instead.
He said, "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."
