If the rumours swirling around the movie-world are true, then it looks very likely that Harry Potter star Ralph Fiennes is to replace Dame Judi Dench as 007’s boss in the next Bond installment – Skyfall- opposite Daniel Craig.
One senior studio insider says that in the film, being directed by Sam Mendes, the character ‘M’, played by Dench, is forced to quit the secret service and train “agent” Fiennes to take over her job.
However, the actor has remained tight-lipped about his new role, saying only: “I’m allowed to say I’m a government agent.” … Oo-er!
When recently quizzed on the subject of whether he would have preferred to have played Bond himself, Fiennes, 49, said, “There was a time in my life when that [playing Bond] would have appealed to me. But I’m a bit on the old side now.”
Filming on the movie is already underway, and a top-quality cast list that includes Javier Bardem, Albert Finney and Naomie Harris will join Fiennes.
Skyfall reaches theatres this November, and will mark Daniel Craig’s third stint as 007 following Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
