imdb really is not that accurate. Connery showed up in a false script.
Putting the rumours to bed - Connery is not in DAD...

Rumours are flying today about a possible Sean Connery appearence in "Die Another Day".

The Internet Movie Database, who should really know better, posted this in the People News section today:

Sean Connery's surprise cameo in new James Bond film Die Another Day may be cut - after an inconsistency with the original Bond novels was identified. Connery, who was the first on-screen Bond in the sixties, filmed a small role as the father of the British spy, who is now played by Pierce Brosnan for the upcoming movie. However, just before the release of the action movie, the film's bosses Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson were advised that in the Ian Fleming novels which the successful franchise is based upon, Bond is an orphan. The producers are still considering whether to leave the footage in or not.

The rumours started 18 months ago when a fan fiction "script" for Bond 20 had Connery playing a cameo role as Bond's father Andrew Bond in the opening sequence.

MI6 can confirm that Sean Connery is not in "Die Another Day".

It is down at the bottom. It would have been really cool, though, because that would make Indy and Bond brothers!
