I swear he&#8217;ll be the Elvis of the next millenium: people will claim to see him everywhere even after he&#8217;s dead. Here&#8217;s the latest Connery-involved-with-LOTR rumour, and it&#8217;s a really cool one:<br \/>\n<br \/>&#8220;&#8230;But here&#8217;s something else for you to mull over. I just got hold of it today. I got it from a UK TV Guide called &#8220;TV Quick&#8221;. One section is called &#8216;The Goss'(as in gossip) and has an interesting titbit about Sean Connery. Here it is word for word&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>&#8220;Sean Connery could be joining an impressive cast in the new movie version of &#8216;The Lord of the Rings&#8217;.<br \/>\n<br \/>Alongside Cate Blanchett, Sir Ian McKellen and Sean Bean, Connery could end up playing Witch King, the leader of a band of undead henchmen. It would be his most villainous role yet &#8211; but then, he&#8217;s always had a licence to thrill.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>That tid-bit came from STEVE H, many thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, Sean&#8217;s back.
