YES YES YES!!! Me want game now!!!

And I thought Connery hated James Bond and wouldnt lend his voice unless EA pays him a trillion dollars. Well this is an excellent way for him to even expand his legacy.

Fantastic news! I hope other aspects of this game will remain faithful to the film, too.

Good. I was worried we'd have a sound alike. This is cool.

This is fantasic news! I somehow had a feeling he would do it. I don't play video games all that often, but I'll be renting this one when it comes out.

I thought Connery turned his back on everything Bond.... hm.


anyways, while this is good news, it will sound very strange having a VERY DIFFERENT sounding Connery voicing the young looking Connery... Hell, Connery almost sounds NOTHING like he did back then...

Maybe they did!

I’m glad he is back acting in a 007 project again! but I agree, he doesn’t sound like his 007 days at all, his famous "SHHHH" accent is more intense these days...

I was just about to post the same thing, Alex.

Could this mean the Connery/Eon feud is over? After all, Eon is very involved with these games, correct?

Hey, maybe Sean Connery is the new Bond! :)

Seriously, this is cool news. Can't wait to wrap my fingers around this one.

Let's hope his neighbours do not mind Sean doing this!!!. :)

I'm looking more forward to this game than I am for Casino Royale.

I agree, I never thought Connery would step within 100 metres of another Bond project again...and I CAN'T WAIT!! This has the potential to beat GoldenEye.

I am not that suprised. FRWL is the best film in the series; as Connery Fleming and Brocolli says.Connery wanted it to be the best Bond game ever by giving his support.

I read about this this morning. I was happy to hear he's returning. *Party then comes and everyone celebrates the return of Connery of returning to Bond's role!! Hiza*

Before we start canonising Mr Connery...

1. An awful lot of cash has probably been put his way
2. He is effectivey an out of work actor who has mentioned retirement because there are no roles worth his while/he hasn't had much success lately.

However, I DO hope Connery HAS genuinely made his peace with Bond after all his bitter comments of the past and failure to realise that as much as he has done for Bond, Bond has done for him.

I hope Connery is an old man lookig back on his life and coming to terms with it errors and realities.

What do you mean by that? I'm excited and happy that Sean has returned. Roger may be my fav Bond but it's Connery,he made Bond. Movie wise anyway. When my brother imitates him, he cracks me up. He sounds nearly like him. Sean probably wouldn't want to see an unknown play him in his best Bond film, supposedly. These are only my thoughts, I never that's how he feels. In case someone misreads and critisises me.
