Judi Dench will return as the MI6 boss M in James Bond 23
"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."
James Bond 23 will be Judi Dench's seventh performance as the MI6 boss, M. She first appeared as M in the 1995 Bond movie Goldeneye alongside Pierce Brosnan as 007.
We reported earlier this month that Daniel Craig is confirmed to star in James Bond 23 and that Sam Mendes is set to direct. Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and John Logan wrote the screenplay.
It isn't clear when James Bond 23 will go into production, although a November 9, 2012 release date has already been set.
Skyfall comes to theaters November 9th, 2012 and stars Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Craig, Helen McCrory, Javier Bardem, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Bérénice Marlohe, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris. The film is directed by Sam Mendes.

So far so good, now how about John Cleese doing Q again? I lnow he got started with the Brosnon Bonds but it would be cool to see him again doing the role.

Whose John Logan lol and I doubt the screenplay is even written yet?
Wasn't it Peter Morgan or whatever his name is writing the script with Purvis and Wade

@Cyn LOL kate Winslet shacked up with Sam Mendes

I just realised how incestuous this film would become.
Daniel Craig is now dating Rachel Weisz who used to shack up with Sam Mendes.
Apart from that - yay! Judi's back!
