Moviehole’s been provided with another photo (you can see the first here) from the upcoming animated film “Sir Billi”, featuring the voice of Sean Connery.
In this photo, Connery’s ‘Billi’ (or is it Bond!?) is reunited with the classic Aston Martin DB5!
Sir Sean offers his voice for the lead character, Sir Billi, a retired veterinarian whose motto is “license to heal.”
“As a retired veterinarian, he drives a rusty old Landover about the highlands, but when duty calls, he turns to the family classic – the Aston Martin DB5,” said Director Sascha Hartmann.
It has been 45 years since Sir Sean Connery drove the legendary silver roadster as James Bond in two 007 films; ”Goldfinger” (1964) and ”Thunderball” (1965). Now he’s tearing up the road again, this time racing around the fictional village of Catterness, located in the northwest Highlands of Scotland.
“It was only right that in Scotland’s first animated feature film featuring our other icon, Sir Sean Connery himself, that we went for a British classic,” further commented Hartmann.
Connery will be reunited with more than an Aston Martin in this movie. The theme song for the film has been sung by Dame Shirley Bassey, the same woman who sang Bond tunes for ”Goldfinger” and ”Diamonds Are Forever” (the last film the two appeared in together).
“Sir Billi” is being produced by Glasgow Animation and is currently in discussions with U.S. distributors.
