Sir Sean Connery has ended his fight over End Game. The former James Bond star sued the production company Mandalay Entertainment and producer Peter Guber in October 2002, seeking 17 million (£10 million) after production of the film was cancelled. Guber and Mandalay later launched a counter lawsuit. Now both sides announced they had reached an "amicable settlement" and all the lawsuits had been withdrawn. Mandalay is no longer involved in making the movie, and Sior Sean and his producing partner, Rhonda Tollefson, are free to pursue the project. End Game would star Sir Sean as a CIA agent, said his spokeswoman, Nancy Seltzer. So far, the film is only in script form. Sir Sean, 73, and Tollefson are considering possible directors and seeking new financing and distribution. In his lawsuit, the actor said the role was first offered to him in 1999. He claimed he had spent considerable time, effort and money in developing the movie before it was dropped by Mandalay and Guber. |
