Judi Dench Will be Back for BOND 23

Darkhorizons.com has confirmed that Dame Judi Dench will be returning in her role as 'M' in the upcoming, 23rd installment of the James Bond series. Daniel Craig will also return as '007' for Bond 23. Production for the film is set to begin in late 2011. Sam Mendes will direct the film and Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan will write the screenplay. Details on the plot of the film have not yet been released.

Despite many postponements due to MGM's financial troubles, the newest installment of the James Bond series, BOND 23, will be released in November 9, 2012.

Dench is reluctant to reveal much, saying: "...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."
