Monsters & Critics reports that Timothy Dalton (007 himself, of course) and Steven Berkoff (the eccentric General Orlov in Octopussy) have been added to the cast alongside Paul Bettany and Rufus Sewell.

The film, which features Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in the lead roles, is directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and written by Julian Fellowes & Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff.

The production is currently shooting on location in Venice and centers on a broken hearted American tourist visiting Italy who pursues a romance with a mysterious woman who crosses his path. They are then caught in a web of intrigue and danger. It is due out in 2011.
