Sean Connery’s Memoir

The Edinburgh International Book Festival will be unveiling the newwest James Bond novel to commemorate 100 years since Bond creator Ian Flemming’s birth, and will also feature a memoir from arguably the best Bond ever. Sean Connery.

Yahoo says:

From Sean Connery with love comes a memoir that will leave fans of the legendary actor shaken and stirred.

The original James Bond plans to unveil his long-awaited memoirs Aug. 25—the day of his 78th birthday—which also conveniently happens to be the final day of the Edinburgh International Book Festival in his native Scotland.

Connery retired after doing League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I might have thought he would try to squeak out at least one more film to go out on a high. I found League to be a ok film provided you never read the graphic novels it was based on. Otherwise it was painful.

I still find forgiveness in my heart for his embarassing role in the Avengers remake with Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes, but he had far more hits than misses, so he is entitled to a few mistakes.

But I have to respect Connery for more than just his body of work after Spielberg tried to tempt him out of retirement to reprise his role as Indiana Jones’ father. But Connery declined with the simple excuse that his retirement is “just too damned much fun.”

Hey, if I had his kind of money they couldn’t lure me back to work that easily either.
