Sir Sean Connery to return to Josiah`s Canon?

Sean Connery is said to be ready and willing to give the prematurely squashed "Josiah's Canon" another go - reports MovieHole.

The semi-retired actor, who last year walked away from 'Canon' to concenrate on his writing, is in talks to rejoin the production. Brett Ratner will resume his directing position.

"20th Century Fox apparently intended on getting the movie up-and-going again - but they assumed with a new star. To their surprise, Connery's considering it now", an insider tells Moviehole.

It's unsure when the film will go ahead, but both Ratner, currently helming "X-Men 3", and the studio, "are hoping for a Fall start". It will film in Prague.

The dramatic heist story is about a Holocaust survivor who leads the world's foremost team of bank robbers. The criminal mastermind sets his sights on a supposedly impenetrable bank in Switzerland, which holds special appeal.it purportedly houses gold deposited by Jews prior to the Holocaust. Adam Fields will produce.

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
