Dame Judi Dench claims Pierce Brosnan will be back as James Bond - announcement by summer

Casino Royale - 26-04-05

Just when you think the rumours of Pierce Brosnan possibly returning to the role of James Bond for a fifth time are over, enter Dame Judi Dench who has played M in the last four 007 films...

The New York Post reports that Dame Judi Dench was in the city drum-beating for her "Ladies in Lavender" movie, which co-stars Dame Maggie Smith.



Dame Judi, a major player in the 007 films, says cool, suave Pierce Brosnan, who's so great as James Bond, will still do his "shaken not stirred" shtick when those cameras roll again.

There is nothing like a dame, and this one says, "despite the fact that everyone on the face of the Earth has been tested as his possible replacement, he'll be doing it again, and it'll be announced come summer."

Thanks to `Danny Parker` for the alert.
