The film is based on the James Bond novel" Thunderball", which was previously adapted in a 1965 film under that name. McClory retained the filming rights of the novel following a long legal battle dating from the 1960s. Connery played the role of James Bond for the seventh and final time, marking his return to the character 12 years after" Diamonds Are Forever". The film's title is a reference to Connery's reported declaration in 1971 that he would" never again" play that role. As Connery was 52 at the time of filming, although nearly three years younger than incumbent Bond Roger Moore, the storyline features an aging Bond, who is brought back into action to investigate the theft of two nuclear weapons by SPECTRE. Unlike the majority of Bond films," Never Say Never Again" was not produced by Eon Productions, but by Jack Schwartzman's Taliafilm in association with Kevin McClory, one of the original writers of the" Thunderball" storyline with Ian Fleming and Jack Whittingham. Filming locations included France, Spain, the Bahamas and Elstree Studios in England. " Never Say Never Again" was released by Warner Bros. in October 1983, and opened to positive reviews, with the acting of Connery and Klaus Maria Brandauer singled out for praise as more emotionally resonant than the typical Bond films of the day. The film was a commercial success, grossing$ 160 million at the box office, although less overall than the Eon-produced" Octopussy" released in the same year. In 1997, the film's distribution rights were transferred to Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer, the current distributor of the Eon Bond films; the company has since handled all subsequent home video releases of the film. <SEP> Jack Schwartzman( July 22, 1932 – June 15, 1994) was an American film producer. <SEP> Irvin Kershner( born Isadore Kershner; April 29, 1923 November 27, 2010) was an American director, actor, and producer of film and television.
