007: SKYFALL Officially Adds Helen McCrory & Ola Rapace to It's Cast

Production is currently underway in London for the 23rd installment of the James Bond film franchise and now two more actors have joined it's already impressive cast.

In SKYFALL, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

According to the official Bond movie Twitter page @007, Skyfall has two new additions to it's cast. Theater and film actress Helen McCrory most notably portrayed Narcissa Malfoy in the final three Harry Potter films, and is also married to Homeland actor Damian Lewis.

Swedish actor Ola Rapace, once husband to Noomi Rapace (the surname they share was their creation and not garnered through lineage), was originally mentioned several months ago as having a possible role in the film; now that casting is confirmed as well. This will be Rapace's second English language film, as he had a small role in 2004's Rancid . No information regarding their roles in Skyfall has been revealed.

Skyfall is directed by Academy Award® winner Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his third film as James Bond 007, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe. The filmmakers also announced Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Ben Whishaw. The screenplay is written by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and John Logan. SKYFALL, which goes into production on Monday, November 7th, will begin its worldwide roll-out in the UK and Ireland on October 26th 2012 and in North America on November 9th 2012.
