The James Bond actor joins Ewan McGregor, Orlando Bloom and Tom Hardy in expressing "huge interest" for the adaptation of ITV's classic 1970s cop show, says the News of the World.

Ray Winstone is rumoured to have been cast as Regan, who was originally played by Inspector Morse actor John Thaw.

"All four are keen on the role but whoever ends up doing it will change the movie's tone. Ray's going to be great as Regan but the chemistry between him and Carter needs to be right," a source said.

"The success of Life On Mars shows there's a huge appetite for '70s cop dramas. With the right cast The Sweeney could be even bigger."

The British actor, who is currently touring New Zealand with a stage production of Waiting For Godot, told Good Morning that he isn't "sitting waiting" for the fantasy movie to get made.

McKellen also insisted that an announcement about the troubled J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation is imminent, saying: "What it will be, I genuinely don't know - it'll either be that we're going ahead or that we're not."

The Hobbit has been plagued by production problems, with the departure of director Guillermo del Toro and co-financier MGM's solvency issues delaying the movie. It has recently been reported that Lord Of The Rings helmer Peter Jackson is negotiating to return to the director's chair.
