she's about 20-21 years younger than Dench so she can last for about 6-7 Bond films
plus she was good with all kind of firearms in RED, so hopefully they will give M a bit more to do action wise than just sitting in her office counting beans
that you are Archimedes?
2. You should have looked up the age difference between them yourself. It does not take that much time.
3. Helen Mirren will be at least 69 years old by the time Bond 24 comes out, so she will be waaay to old to be the new M.
To update it - you need a young male M. An operator. A player. Who got where he is via political maneurvering and schmoozing. A man more obcessed with PR then catching spies. A not entirely trustworthy boss would put a new slant on it. In the era of David Cameron and the possibly Tony Blair. In the world of slippery 21st Century politics you need a cunning animal to survive.
..and of course Craig Bond would have nothing but contempt for him.
I am not a Mathematician (Cough Cough, yeah right, you wish!!) like you.
No need to get snotty okay?
Callate la Boca!!
Gracias!
p.s. there is always a rude, condescending person in every other thread here at MI6!!
as Long as M doesn't save bond's life by killing the main bad guy.
I mean, I found it awkward that Pierce Brosnan's M also saw the 00 promotion of Daniel Craig's Bond.
are we supposed to forget the Brosnan's Bond films never happened?
No nasty ideas of bringing a past Bond to be M, either (shivers and gags).
I like(d) Dench. We'll see where Bond 23 takes us, I have a feeling we'll be seeing MP come back as Craig and Dench leave for 23, and then 24 have Fassbender (PLEASE GOD) and someone else, maybe back to a male.
When Bond began Lee was a familiar supporting actor, but not a major star. Therefore M was a background support character. His role expanded over the years but it was never over-cooked. Similarly, Robert Brown's M was there but not in the thick of the action.
I like Judi Dench as M but she's a big star so her part needs to be quite significant. M should be there to give Bond his orders and little else.
plus Dench signed on for 7 films...this is the last one on that contract so is most likely her last...rumored that she wants to go out with a bang.
I can see him say to Craig's Bond:
"Smiert Spionem means Death to Spies, Bond! Come back alive!! I was doing this when you were still going through boot camp in the Royal Navy!!"
I've never really had a problem with it, back in 1995 when we were introduced to the first female M figure I never really berated the decision, although the character is seen of in nearly all the Bond movies, it never really plays that much of a pivotal part once the action gets underway
I think she's good for at least another two outings, although never will be able to fill Bernard Lee's shoes
Robert Brown was merely a waste of a character for his four or so Bond films
It's just very unfortunate Bond Begins came after two films which dealt with trust issues themselves, meaning we got four in a row.
Way better as a villain.
They need a somebody, but not important somebody for M.
Like a "Oh look, its that guy from that one movie I saw that once."
