James Bond Series Secured and to be Distributed by Sony Pictures
Now comes good news for British secret operative fans — Sony Pictures have announced today that they will help MGM co-finance the next Bond film, plus a number of motion pictures in the next five years! They will also have Bond 24 to follow.

Judi Dench Returns as M in Bond 23
When I think about Bond movies, there’s always Judi Dench on my mind.
Don’t know why, maybe because she has already starred in six Bond films with her first appearance in 1995′s Goldeneye? Obviously.
So, it’s quite logical that the legendary actress will return as M, 007′s boss, in the new movie that, at this moment, has the working title Bond 23.
That’s exactly what we heard straight from Judi Dench last night at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards:
“Yes, I can’t tell you anything at all! Nothing… my lips are sealed,” she said, but then added: “You get to work with Daniel Craig. You get to go on location if you are very lucky and you get to wear a few sharp suits.

But not just any villain, the head of Quantum, which is the secret organization responsible for all the trouble in the last two installments. While there have been several actresses who have played villains in the Bond franchise, this will be the first time that one would play the mastermind.
Mi6 opposed the announcement, on the other hand. The Sun’s inside source said:
Casting Rachel was going to be a surprise twist as everyone would assume she’d be a Bond girl when really she would play a villain. But the fly in the ointment is that they are now dating.”
