I could have been so much more strategic. I was at a point where I could have got a lot of jobs but took myself out of the running for 18 months, which was sort of insane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pike made her big-screen debut in the 2002 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/james-bond\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,james-bond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Bond<\/a> film Die Another Day as the villainous fencer and double agent Miranda Frost but has some regrets about her performance in the flick &#8211; which marked Pierce Brosnan&#8217;s final outing as 007.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I could have been so much better in Die Another Day.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know how to talk to someone within the real MI5, or a real Olympian, to help me do a better job, to make it more real.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, Rosamund is still &#8220;very proud&#8221; that she got the opportunity to appear in the legendary spy franchise.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Saltburn star said: &#8220;It&#8217;s something I&#8217;m very proud to have been in. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson couldn&#8217;t have been kinder, nicer producers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nRosamund&#8217;s upcoming projects include the Guy Ritchie movies Wife and Dog and In The Grey and she loves the unpredictable methods of the Snatch director.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I love (Ritchie&#8217;s) mad way of working. I went down to Tenerife to film one scene and ended up shooting five in one day.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And as someone who likes to prepare, working for a guy you can&#8217;t prepare for&#8230; All he wants you to do is commit to something. Put your head above the parapet. You&#8217;re impelled to take a risk, to go with the flow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>\n        Pierce Brosnan is an Irish actor, film producer, and activist.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/rosamund-pike-wishes-strategic-career-after-gone-girl-acclaim-1439140.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 March 2026 Rosamund Pike rues not being more &#8220;strategic&#8221; with her career after starring in Gone Girl.
