London
(ANI):
Legendary
star
Al
Pacino
will
soon
be
battling
out
with
James
Bond
in
the
next
007
flick.
Pacino
has
given
the
nod
to
an
offer
to
star
in
the
next
bond
movie
Quantum
of
Solace.
This
'casting
coup'
of
sorts
materialised
after
top
secret
negotiations
in
LA,
when
the
screen
legend
finally
agreed
to
play
the
leader
of
the
international
terrorist
group
introduced
in
Casino
Royale.
A
Bond
insider
revealed
that
though
the
role
is
not
quite
big
but
it
surely
is
pivotal
for
the
movie."It's
not
a
major
role
but
it's
an
extremely
important
one.
It
will
be
a
brief
on-screen
appearance.
Everyone
is
really
excited
at
the
prospect
of
having
such
a
huge
star
joining
the
cast.
It
will
be
fabulous
to
see
him
square
up
against
Bond," said
the
Insider.
The
67-year-old
Godfather
star
has
also
appeared
in
classics
such
as
Scarface
and
Carlito's
Way
and
will
be
arriving
at
Pinewood
Studios
in
April
or
May.
In
Quantum
of
Solace,
Bond
-
played
by
Daniel
Craig
-
is
on
the
trail
of
terrorists
responsible
for
the
death
of
his
ladylove
Vesper
Lynd.
