James Bond 23 to be called Skyfall

Thu 3rd Nov, 2011

Ralph Fiennes and Albert Finney are just two of the stars who will join Daniel Craig in the 23rd James Bond movie, Skyfall, it has been revealed.

French actress Berenice Marlohe will add glamour to the film, which will be distributed by Sony Pictures (following MGM's bankruptcy in November last year) and eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that Sony registered several domains entitled Skyfall last month. Producer Michael Wilson said that the name for the movie was "the worst kept secret in London".

Director Sam Mendes kept discussion over the plot at a minimum, but the press release suggests that the film will deal with Bond's allegiance to M. The announcement comes fifty years to the day after Sean Connery was announced as the man to play the spy in Dr. No.
