"We have a concept based on a prequel, where Dr. Evil and Austin are together in the 1950's as young men in some academy...Of course something goes wrong. Dr. Evil goes off to some zone and Austin launches the British revolution in American music and colour, just to annoy Dr. Evil. We've always wanted Sean Connery to do something. We've tried to talking to his people, but they were very polite - schedules and stuff - but he may just not want to go there."
