Javier Bardem joins the cast of Bond 23

Pre-production for Bond 23 is in full swing after what seems like an eternity waiting for MGM to work out its financial problems and Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Javier Bardem has been picked to play the main villian. Sam Mendes will be directing the newest installment of 007's adventures with the new flick rumoured to be called "Skyfall". Hmmmm... not sure I like that name but can't wait for the movie, which is scheduled for release in November 2012.

Would you like to be shaken or stirred, Mr Bond?
