Albert Finney among big time talent in Skyfall

"Skyfall" is the name of the next James Bond adventure staring Daniel Craig and directed by Sam Mendes. Recently confirmed for the new film is Albert Finney, a big hitting star signed up to appear alongside him Javier Bardem, the highly regarded Spanish actor married to Penelope Cruz, and Ralph Fiennes as well as Bond regular Dame Judi Dench as M.

What is currently intriguing for many Bond fans is the lack of information regarding the characters these actors will be playing. Bardem is in a villain's role, as is Fiennes; however, the speculation that Fiennes will be resurrecting the character of Blofeld for Skyfall have been neither confirmed nor denied. There is also a strong rumour that Finney will be playing M's boss, although it is impossible to verify this claim as no reputable sources have been quoted for the information.

Director Sam Mendes is the man responsible for bringing onboard such heavyweight talent and while it is certainly an interesting approach to a James Bond film it leaves many people wondering what direction the new film will take and whether these actors will overshadow 007 himself, although Daniel Craig was a highly regarded actor before he took on the role of Bond.
