Following up last weeks rumours; there has been no official confirmation of casting of Bardem, Fiennes, or Harris since the tabloid the Daily Mail published their story last week.
This week Sony has refused to respond to the ‘rumors’, notably with no expectation of forthcoming official announcements. Last week Eon stressed there was ‘no confirmation’ Naomie Harris would appear in Bond 23.

The NYT reports, from an original story in London tabloid the Daily Mail, that Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem are joining Sam Mendes’ Bond 23 (when will they give us a real title?), starring Daniel Craig as Agent 007, Naomie Harris as Miss Moneypenny and Judi Dench as M.
A Sony spokesman has “no comment on rumors,” and offers no expectation of a forthcoming or imminent official announcement. The movie is set to open November 9, 2012.
