The Battle for Bond deal with Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli: "Thunderball" (1965) that was released at Christmas. McClory's court victory also entitled him to remake "Thunderball" (1965) as "Never Say Never Again" (1983), again with Sean Connery as James Bond, the cinematic competition Broccoli had tried to legally ban. With the remake, McClory attempted to continue with his own James Bond film series, but was stopped after legal action by Broccoli and MGM. In a later unsuccessful lawsuit, McClory went further and now claimed that he created the cinematic James Bond, and demanded a share of the three billion dollars earned by
Sean Connery to abandon the pool immediately. In 2005, "From Russia with Love" was adapted by Electronic Arts into a video game, titled "", which featured all-new voice work by Connery, recorded by Terry Manning in The Bahamas, as well as his likeness, and those of several of the film's supporting cast. Although Bond had made him a star, Connery eventually grew tired of the role and the pressure the franchise put on him, saying "[I am] fed up to here with the whole Bond bit" and "I have always hated that damned James Bond. I'd like to kill him". Michael Caine
