James Bond (Sean Connery) burns a piece of paper containing the address of his Tokyo contact in You Only Live Twice (1967)
This mashup of the end of Spectre (2015) and the tragic end of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) would definitely have been amazing!
Would this have been a better ending for Spectre?

Last night on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Daniel Craig was asked if he would return as James Bond, 007 in Bond 25. He was happy to officially announce that yes, he will be back. He also said (although anything can happen) that he believes it is his last James Bond movie. See the clips from the BM Twitter feed below:

Sean Connery is and always will be the best and my favorite actor to portray James Bond. My favorite James Bond movie may change periodically, but I’ll always point to Connery’s iconic introduction scene from Dr. No as the true definition of James Bond. RIP.
Apparently they didn’t want to re-shoot a scene with Roger Moore hiding at the pyramids in The Spy Who Love Me (1977), and they ended up with James Bond frozen in position! 🙂
