New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams talked to Dame Judi Dench, who has played M in the four Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies, and will do so again in Casino Royale.

Although Brosnan believed he wouldn't be back, Dench says the actor will return a fifth time. "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," said Dench.

Martin Campbell, who directed Brosnan and Dench in their first 007 movie together, Goldeneye, is returning for the latest installment.

Sounds to me like this should have stayed in the gossip column. "News" like this gives great publicity to the post. I wouldn't give it much credit.
