I think Sean Connery would have done more Bond if Broccoli and Saltzman gave him more creative control. I also think that if they both would have left the series, Connery would have returned if asked. Look at Never Say Never Again or the From Russia With Love video game. EON gave Daniel Craig too much creative control, with a mixed bag. He chose Marc Forster and Sam Mendes as directors, for starters. Pierce Brosnan in particular didn’t get enough creative say. That’s one of the biggest missed opportunities for EON. For the next Bond EON, don’t bow down too everything that they want (RM, DC), but give them a decent say in direction (SC, PB).
