Bourne Alum Will Meet Bond

The Daily Mail reports that Albert Finney ("Erin Brockovich," "A Good Year") has joined the cast of Bond 23



Finney will play "a Foreign Office mandarin with powers over the Secret Intelligence Service", a role that is"reasonably big and full of class".
 
Simon Russell Beale was previously linked to to the sequel but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, could the role Finney now has been Beale's at one point?

The official press conference announcing the commencement of principal photography (and likely the film's title) has been confirmed to be taking place next Thursday

Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Helen McCrory and Rory Kinnear star

Sam Mendes directs from a script by Patrick Marber John Logan Neal Purvis and Robert Wade

Rehearsals and camera tests continue this week ahead of next week's start of production just in time for the 50th anniversary of the first film "Dr. No" which opened in October 1962.

Bond returns November 9th, 2012 .
