Although it’s not exactly the most surprising news ever, it’s still good to know that Judi Dench is going to be returning to the James Bond franchise as M in the upcoming 23rd offocial 007 flick.
While Dench herself confirmed her involvement in the movie at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards (at which she was honoured), she didn’t eactly reveal much. When asked what he could say about the movie her reply was, “Nothing… my lips are sealed. I can’t tell you anything at all! Of course, I’m looking forward hugely to working with Daniel [Craig] again and with Sam [Mendes] who I’ve only ever worked with in the theatre. So that’ll be all good fun to do! I’m so glad it’s coming back, it’s wonderful.”
It’ll be the seventh time she’s appeared as M, being pretty much thing that survived the changes brought about by the Casino Royale reboot of the franchise.
While the plot and title of the movie are still surrounded in mystery, the movie itself shoud be with us Novermber 2012. (Source: Mi6)
