The Daily Mail UK are reporting that Albert Finney has joined the cast of Sam Mendes' James Bond flick. A veteran of the stage and screen, this will mark Finney's return to acting after a 5 year hiatus while he battled prostate cancer. According to the site Finney..

..will play a Foreign Office mandarin with powers over the Secret Intelligence Service, described to me as a reasonably big role and full of class. The part probably makes him M’s boss, though she — as played by Judi — might not see it that way.





Finney adds even more class to a cast that includes Daniel Craig, Dame Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Ralph Feinnes. The 75 year sold thesp will also be reprising his role as Albert Hirsch in Tony Gilroy‘s The Bourne Legacy. The 23rd Bond movie is rumored to be called "Skyfall" but that has yet top be confirmed. Plot details are under wraps.

I had read about an idea (probably on this site, don't remember if it was real or fan-fic) that the new Bond flick would be called "Property of a Lady" and have Quantum be run by a woman, hence the property belonging to a lady. I thought that was a wickedly cool idea.

Either way, Finney is a marvelous actor and I'm a fan of anything he's in, so I'd say this is a good choice.

When did the rumor switch from Carte Blanche to Skyfall? I thought it was Carte Blanche...?

Oh waitaminute. I could've sworn that was Albert Finney. Nevermind. Move along. Nothing to see here.

He would play a decent replacement for 'M' if she ever left the role. Great actor though, looking forward to this film...

That man is the reason why i could watch Erin Brockovich at least once every day. He brought so much heart to that film, even if Julia was the one meant to. He stole the show right from under Julia's awesome performance IMHO.

Pretty cool. He is one great actor.

I hope Skyfall doesnt end up to be the movie´s name.
It needs something more classy.

Like The Man With The Golden Glass Ball or The Spy Who Pumped Me.

So far Carte Blanche has been the best name choice. But if it doesnt have anything to do with the movie itself using that name would be pointless.
