The former super agent James Bond star Sean Connery has signed on to reprise his role as 007 for Electronic Arts' upcoming "From Russia With Love" video game. The "Hollywood Reporter" mentioned, Connery will record dialogue and lend his likeness to the game, which will be based on MGM's 1963 film classic, the second of six Bond outings for the thespian and the first bona fide hit in the franchise.

Apart from his retirement for an unofficial remake of "Thunderball," 1983's "Never Say Never Again," Connery told Reporter "As an artist, I see this as another way to explore the creative process. Video games are an extremely popular form of entertainment today, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all fits together."
