As was reported earlier today, Naomie Harris is set to star as Miss Moneypenny in the next (and currently untitled) James Bond movie. Well, IGN Movies have brought attention to another part of that same report from The Daily Mail which mentions the addition of two other cast members.
While both actors have been very loosely linked to the movie in the past, the site mentions that,
"The actress is poised to appear alongside Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Judi Dench when filming begins later this year." While this is far from confirmation, I would say this is a fairly strong indication (especially as the source is a reliable one) that they have indeed joined the cast of
Bond 23, set to film later this year.
Of course, it's also worth noting that they point out the fact a spokeswoman for Eon confirmed earlier today that Harris has met with producers, but not yet signed on. Whether the same can be said for Bardem and Fiennes remains to be seen.
Directed by Sam Mendes,
Bond 23 is set to be released on November 9th, 2012!
