Judi Dench Joins The Casino Royale Team

Judi Dench has recently revealed she is looking forward to starring alongside the new Bond, Daniel Craig, in Casino Royale.

"Yes of course (I Am going to play). 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. They're getting me out of my box. It's a whole film there", the actress said.

"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", Dench told Britain's Empire magazine.

Judi Dench has played M in the last four Bond movies opposite Pierce Brosnan.
The actress returns as M in the new James Bond film, to be directed by Martin Campbell (GoldenEye). The movie is set for a November 17, 2006 release.

Dame Judi Dench is also said to be nominated for Academy Awards next year, for 'Mrs Henderson Presents', competing with Keira Knightley, who might be nominated for her performance as Lizzie Bennett in 'Pride and Prejudice'.
