Do I really think this will ever happen? No. But have I been hoping for this perfect dream casting for over a decade, when I first got into film through the James Bond series? Oh, hell yeah.

According to The Daily Mail, which instantly makes this sound of nothing but a rumor, preliminary discussions have said to have taken place between Sean Connery and the new Bond producers after Connery was so impressed with Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale.

Unfortunately, Connery is busy enjoying retirement, and was asking for insane amounts of money for the films he was doing right before he stepped away from the silver screen. “I wouldn’t mind coming back as a Bond villain,” Connery said. “But I don’t think they would pay me enough money.”

We can always hope otherwise.
