Unmade Bond Screenplay Sells For Thousands
A script co-written by Sir Sean Connery for a James Bond film that was never made has sold at auction for $68,400 (GBP46,850).
The screenplay for Warhead was penned by former 007 actor Connery, Len Deighton, and Kevin McClory in 1976, and would have seen the spy battling robot sharks to prevent them planting nuclear bombs in sewers underneath New York.
The original script, which was never made into a film due to legal problems, was put up for sale as part of the Christie’s Pop Culture: Entertainment Memorabilia auction in London on Friday and was expected to fetch around $2,900 (GBP2,000).
Other items in the sale included a fur-trimmed stole worn by Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe, which sold for $61,400 (GBP42,050).
