Empire Online spoke with Judi Dench who confirmed she will be returning in the role of M in the next James Bond installment.
Dench Still with Bond
"Yes of course. And I heard today that I'm not going to be in London. I'm going to get to go to Prague and The Bahamas," she said. "They're getting me out of my box. It's a whole film there. I'm very much looking forward to working with Daniel, but I've not even read a script yet. All I know is that we're due to start in February."
It should be interesting to see how Dench will play M this time around, as this film takes place much earlier in 007’s career.
Dench has played M in the last four Bond movies opposite Pierce Brosnan.
Directed by Martin Campbell, Casino Royale is set for a November 17, 2006 release.
