CONNERY DENIES NEW MOVIE ROLE

The 78-year-old has not appeared on the big screen since 2003's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

But Connery was this week (beg27Oct08) rumoured to have signed up to star in new film, Quest of Sheherzade, alongside fellow Brit Orlando Bloom.

However, Nancy Seltzer, a representative for the star, has denied the claims, telling the New York Daily News: "Sean has not even heard of the project."
