His wikipedia page reads like an obituary. I do wonder if he kicks himself for turning down Blade II
His reasoning for turning down LotR and Matrix was that he didn't really understand the source material. Which is valid, IMO.
I mean ... he is dead. But I think it reads too negatively for an obituary, those don't usually spend that much time on missed opportunities and failed projects.
OH! I was talking about Norrington, not Connery haha! Sorry misread the chain
If I had a nickel for every time The League of Extaordinary Gentlemen ended someone's career, I'd have two nickels! Which isn't much but it's weird that it's happened twice!
And if I had a pound for every time I confused Norrington with Connery, I'd have.. I'd have... well I'd have nothing since I would be taking a single pound from myself. Why have you done this to me now
