Dame Judi Dench removed from `Casino Royale` listing, another IMDB mistake?

14-Nov-2005 • Casino Royale

Dame Judi Dench, who has played James Bond's boss, M, in the last four Bond movies, has had her name removed from the IMDB listing for "Casino Royale".

Back in March, Dench re-confirmed that she will be reprising her for the fifth time in "Casino Royale".

But in his first comments about "Casino Royale" since being announced as James Bond #6, actor Daniel Craig left things a bit more ambiguous.

Asked if he wanted Dench to return as M, Craig replied, "I think that's going to be a definite possibility. I'd love to work with Judi Dench. I think most actors would," but he did not specifically confirm whether or not Dench was still planning to return to the role.

Director Martin Campbell also said earlier this month that they were in talks with Dench for her to return.

MI6 Rumour Rating: IMDB relies on user submissions for content, and does not have a reliable track record for movies in production. Rumoured Bond girl Cecile De France was added and subsequently removed last week. Last month composer David Arnold was removed from the IMDB page, sparking rumours that he may not be scoring the film. Arnold later confirmed to MI6 that he is working on Casino Royale and that IMDB had "got it wrong again". Arnold has since been restored to IMDB's "Casino Royale" page.

Thanks to `Kyvan` for the alert.
