It’s hard to believe but Sean Connery is celebrating a huge milestone today — he’s turning 80 years old. Did you ever think you’d see the day when James Bond would reach that age? For the past few years the veteran actor has been keeping a low profile by not appearing in any major films (with the exception of a few voiceover gigs). Even though you may miss his Scottish charm, you might have to cuddle up to his past works via DVD because Connery has no desire to act again. He’s throwing in the towel!

billi6 22 10 Sneak Peek from Sean Connery’s Animation Sir Billi!

007 is back! And animated! And producing! We were just sent some of the first footage of Sir Billi!, a new animation film that stars Sir Sean Connery who at the age of 79 will not only be starring in the film (and making it much more than a “little” animation) but also acting as executive producer on the movie. There’s not surprise that the film has a voice-cast of strong Scottish actors such as Alan Cumming (who is not very well introduced in the trailer below, but I’m sure gives an impressive performance), Alex Norton, Ford Kiernan, Greg Hemphill and Ruby Wax.

Watch the three minute clips of them racing thru the Scottish countryside to save a beaver below!

10 Indiana Jones the Last Crusade Henry Jones to Appear in Indiana Jones 5?

Is it possible that Sean Connery will return to the Indiana Jones series as Prof. Henry Jones? Sorry to spoil this for those of you who haven’t watched the last film, but his character is supposed to be dead or at least that’s what we think. Now, reports have surfaced via Ireland Online, that Indy’s dad is set to make a return to the franchise. A close source to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas has spilled the beans on Papa Jones’ involvement in the next installment.

The Forgotten Bond: David Niven

Thursday, November 13, 2008 9:16AM - By Julio Gagne

Did you realize that the Daniel Craig, Bond reboot, “Casino Royale” is the THIRD version of Iam Fleming’s kick-off Bond novel? The first is an oddball entry, though technically the first time Bond was filmed. That was back in 1954 on American television when CBS aired a one hour episode of “Climax!” their weekly suspense show. However, for this, the first ever filming of a James Bond story, Bond was portrayed NOT as a British Secret Service agent, but one from the CIA! Felix, his CIA compadre in so many films was the Brit instead. Holy through the looking glass, Batman! For you trivia types, Peter Lorre played Le Chiffre in this early, b&w, TV version.

Economic Downturn? Invest in Bonds!

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 9:27AM - By Julio Gagne

More dependable than your 401k, this coming Friday, James Bond returns for his 23rd adventure in “Quantum of Solace”. It’s been well reviewed so far with a positive tomatometer, should lead the box office this weekend and has already broken box office records in the UK. Initially most were skeptical that Daniel Craig would prove a fitting heir to the Bond throne, but the popularity and boffo revenues from “Casino Royale” has put that skepticism to rest. However, how does Craig’s reboot of the venerable series compare to the others on an economic basis? Or to put it another way, which Bond gives more bang for the buck?
