GirlGoneLeBron: Sean Connery says he will come out of retirement to play James Bond's father.

Craig is the latest actor to take on the Bond role. Could Connery play his dad?

GirlGoneGrady: That would be too gimmicky, just like his character in The Rock.
GirlGoneLeBron: Ha right. He played a captured MI6 agent imprisoned in Alcatraz.
GirlGoneGrady:  As if no one figured out that was supposed to be Bond …
GirlGoneLeBron: Connery playing James Bond’s father would also be too creepy. It’s like he’s playing his own dad.
GirlGoneGrady: Very Oedipal.

  hey there, tjs11452...
  
  uhm, they already made the Bond movie "The Man With the Golden Gun."  It was starring Christopher Lee and Nik Nak (Tattoo from Fantasy Island) and I can't for the life of me remember who the Bond Girl was in that one...
  
  
  Weighing in with my two cents about Daniel Craig:
  
  HUBBA HUBBA!!   he's hot, hot hot!!

  "Most things in here, don't react well to......" jumping the shark and creating a hokey storyline (ie. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) just to see Sir Sean Connery back in the Bond Franchise.
  
  Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE Connery fan, but this isn't the time or the place.

  The only way I can see this happening is if Connery played Bond's father figure, rather than an actual father.  For instance, he could be the person who gave Bond the money to go to Oxford, encouraged him to join the navy, etc.  Bond's true parents died and left him orphaned so I have no idea why they would give him a father, but hey...they've screwed up the timeline so much, I suppose it doesn't really matter anymore.

  This is excellent!  Sir Sean has played to famous Dads.  Dr. Henry Jones, the dad of Indiana Jones and now he plays dad to Daniel Craig.
  
  First, let everyone know that I believed Daniel Craig to be an excellent choice to renew the bond franchise.  Sorry, George, Roger, Tim; well Pearce you did good to keep the character alive and you great....thanx god for the Irish, oh and yes scotish.
  
  Sir Sean, good to see you back on board....at any price or cost.  You have been missed, but never to be forgotten.  From someone who saw Dr. NO at age 9 years.
  
  All I have to say is.....YES!
