Dench Back As M
26th January 2011
Speaking to the media after the South Bank Sky Arts Awards,
where
she received an outstanding achievement accolade,
Dame Judi Dench confirmed she will be reprising the role of M
- 007's
boss at MI6 - in the 23rd James
Bond film due out November 9th, 2012. Her
confirmation follows the official
announcement of the film earlier
this month.
Asked whether she was going to be back as M,
Dame Judi responded "Yes" and
kept tight lipped with a glint in her eye. Further pressed for
details she said, "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 will be the seventh time Dench has played the role of M.
She debuted in 1995's "GoldenEye" opposite
new-comer Pierce
Brosnan.
Her character was quick to put Bond in his place and assert her
authority, explaining to him that she would utilise the 00-section
where
required, despite not always condoning their methods.
