Connery lives in Spain. He's 78 and barely leaves his house unless it's to go to the Golf course.

Udvarnoky said:Yeah, but he's also refused to be in really good movies too. The guy is notoriously bad at picking scripts.

Darth Vile said:Exactly... So I think it's difficult to infer anything from his decision (apart from the obvious).
Udvarnoky said:Darth Vile, you have a way of making my brain explode.

I don't know why people are giving the speculators here such a hard time. The movie was trash - so its a fair assumption that Connery passed due to the poor quality of the script. John Hurt's quotes are proof enough for me. He's an accomplished enough actor that pretty much told it like it is.
Well I guess that would sort of depend on when they had the wedding idea, because if he didn't want to do it, and they had the idea of the wedding (and really wanted to top off of the movie that way), do they really have a choice?_Mothy_ said:Connery was extremely wise to stay in retirement, his reputation would have been cut to shreds. But, get this, just because he had the right idea to not do the film, they kill his character off! What a joke.
LMAO!!Udvarnoky said:Was I the only one who didn't feel any emotional resonance with Henry Sr.'s death? I mean, Harrison is great in the scene, but it's handled in such a hamfisted way, with the two portraits of the two unavailable actors (due to death and retirement respectively) being shown and pointed to within a single line. It was forced and hard to take very seriously.
"Brutal couple of years, eh Charlie? First Dad, then Marcus, then Shorty in that threshing machine mishap, then Sallah collapsing backwards into an open manhole, then Willie skydiving without a parachute, then Earl Weber pogosticking blindfolded into that crater of wet cement. And the weird thing is, it all happened on the same weekend."
