Pierce Is Out, Sean Back In As 007

Despite amassing great wealth through his domination of such Celebrity Jeopardy categories as “The Rapists”, “Swords” and “Anal bum cover”, Sean Connery is going back to work as James Bond. The Scotsman will supply the voice and likeness for the skirt chasing (and usually catching) spy for EA’s From Russia With Love (based on MGM’s hit movie from 1963) due out this fall for the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube. Sexy Hollywood Reporter reports.

He will be joined by other likenesses from the original cast of the film as the game will bring to life such characters as the original Q (Desmond Llewelyn), Donald “Red” Grant (Robert Shaw), Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi), Kerim Bay (Pedro Armendariz) and Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell). “As an artist, I see this as another way to explore the creative process,” Connery said. “Video games are an extremely popular form of entertainment today, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all fits together.”
