Nordling here.

Looks like the Jason Bourne and James Bond franchises now have a common link, other than their initials - Albert Finney has joined the cast, according to Playlist. His character is M's (Judi Dench) superior, and there is certain to be clashes between them.

Albert Finney has not been in films much of late due to health issues, but it's nice to see him come back, especially to a Bond film. The cast for this one is exemplary - we get Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, and of course, Daniel Craig returning. After the disappointment that was QUANTUM OF SOLACE, Bond 23, whatever the title ends up being, is looking really great with Sam Mendes at the helm. If Finney grabs a tommy gun and starts plowing QUANTUM agents to the music of "Danny Boy," this will become the perfect movie.

Nordling, out.
