Good idea?

What do you think? Personally, I think it's a gimmick and one that would be a travesty considering Connery's legacy. Not too concerned, I think this is just hyperbole. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Where does Ireland Online get their news? The E News channel? This has got to be a passing remark picked up in the press. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Another rumor....I can't take this seriously....he set the Bond standard and if he became,what,another Blofled....how silly would that be!? It would contradict the series and be ,I think, in bad taste . 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

He'd be awesome, but it's obviously a gimmick.

And although I rank Mr. Connery foremost among all actors, I stopped believing in the power of one personality to save a movie after The Avengers. If anybody could save a dud, he is the guy, but alas the immovable object emerged triumphant.

Wasn't there talk of him having a cameo in Die Another Day, playing Bonds dad or something?
I think i read that the director was really pushing for it, but production said no.

You know what? I actually thought connery would make a great Bond villain after seeing The league of extraordinary gentlemen. I dont know what it was that made me think of it but its been in my head since then. I think it would be a great idea. Do you find this valuable?

He would have promoted the idea that "James Bond" is just a name stuck on to whoever the hotshot of MI6 happens to be at any given time, therefore that all these gentlemen with different faces are different people.

Part of the reason for axing that was it would be logically inconsistent with references to the deceased wife in several (well, two anyway) Roger Moore movies. And I read somewhere that Barbara Broccoli didn't like it. Much better to believe the guy who sang "Under The Mango Tree" to Honey Rider was the same guy who got in the fistfight with 006 over the world's largest satellite dish.

Seems kinda corny, but I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree.
