This is coming from a man who once said "who is your floor".

Tabloid toilet, folks. Tabloid toilet.

Ah, a real interesting take on an English-speaking Dutchman, don't you think?

Even if Sean were willing, Andrew Bond died while James was a child.
Wouldn't really want to see Fleming tinkered with to the extent that Andrew is actually alive.

Yah. You iz good point.

I was first, uhm..., well..., excited about this idea. But, reality sets in. Seeing Sir Sean in the franchise, dare I say it, just wouldn't fit.

As father? Craig is firmly established as an orphan, true to the character.
As an uncle? Freakishly not.
As "M"? Really freakishly not.
A 'Richard Branson' style cameo? Hmmm.....

I think he might not really mean it, and may just be saying it to give a different answer to the kind of questions he gets asked ad nauseum (that's if it's even a real quote).

The "Bond was getting too sci-fi" answer has never really flown with me because he made "Zardoz" a couple of years after making DAF. So that wasn't too sci-fi for him?

i suppose the next rumour will be all the old Bonds are returning like they said years ago. I think Connery should stay away and leave Graig to his Brillance.

Maybe concerntrate on another character like Henry Jones Snr.

I have no problem with Sean Connery's last film LXG,it was very entertaining.

Also we should add George Lazenby as a good Bond Ambassdor he seems to make all the conventions from the photos i have seen.

Eon is best off focusing their energy solely on Daniel Criag's James Bond. That's it.

Ok, find some fantastic global talent that's not tabloid material to surround him in the next 2 movies as they did with CR.

I mean, we have just seen the birth of an outstanding new Bond and we do not need any tabloid baggage to screw up the next few missions.

Just build on Daniel. Get Dench in and, if needed, Jeffery Wright...but just leave it at that for now.

As a tight-fisted, miserable old codger who hates everyone and everything?

I really don't think a cameo can be done well, even in a Bond film.. I don't want to see Roger Moore creepily stalking around corners winking at the camera, and I sure as hell don't want to see a pissed off old Connery mocking up some long lost uncle (or even just standing there counting money)..

Connery is also assuming Eon would want him in Bond 22.. my guess is no (especially after 40-odd years of -talking)..

And how he conducted himself when Cubby died....

[supernova]

No, No, stay away from the Bond franchise - if you need the work go do geriatric 'Indiana Jones Returns' with Harrison Ford.

[Kamikaze]

I agree with many of you that James has always been said to be an orphan, but how many times has that been reversed with "Oh, the parents were just missing for forty years"? And if Sir Sean is going to play Bond Sr ... and he played/plays Jones Sr ... Does that make Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr James Bond's much older brother?

[DamnCoffee]

Bonds parents should NEVER be introduced, not even in a flashback. The Only time i think they should be introduced is if EON decide to make a young Bond series and to show how they died, and i wouldn't want Connery in the role (as much as i love him) he'll only try to steal the Bond actors glory.

We all know what happened the last time Connery returned to the franchise - he ed it up!!

[DaveBond21]

Connery has always sounded so miserable hasn't he?

Poor lad, being rich and famous must be so hard.

How is a poison-tipped blade a "science fiction gizmo"?

No kidding, I just got done reading FRWL. THe only gizmos I remember are the breifcase, I found rather nice, and the shoe blade. I'll have to watch FRWL to make sure. Both are straight out of the book, which was nice to see how close the book and movie are.
