Sir Sean's last film nears end

SIR SEAN CONNERY'S last film has moved into the final stages of production – but he is keeping his cards close to his chest.

The 77-year-old Bond actor was tempted out of retirement by the small Scottish production company's script for the cartoon Sir Billi The Vet, which is due out next summer. The film also stars Alan Cumming, Ruby Wax and Ford Kiernan.

Sir Sean reportedly said: "We have completed 77 minutes of an 87-minute feature. I have worked closely with Billi Productions and am delighted by the film's quality."
