Sir Sean Connery back behind the wheel of an Aston Martin DB5 in Sir Billi

Sir Sean Connery will be back on the big screen as Sir Billi, a Scottish animation film, featuring the voice and likeness of Sir Sean Connery as the character Sir Billi. Sir Billi will be released in cinemas on 13 September 2013 and on DVD (pre-order here) on 16 September 2013.

In the film, produced by Glasgow Animation Ltd, we can expect several nods to James Bond, including the silver grey car that Sir Billi drives which is the famous Aston Martin DB5, which "still handles like it used to...".

The themesong is performed by Bond music legend Dame Shirley Bassey. This is the first time since Connery's Bond films that they have been reunited in a film.

Watch this great behind the scenes video with an interview with Connery and parts of Bassey's themesong.
