\"\"There are not many rumors about the storyline for the upcoming James Bond adventure Skyfall<\/strong>, but their is one major one that seems to pop up now and then. If true, it would be a big moment and one that would be a first for the series.<\/p>\n

Best For Film<\/a> (via Bleeding Cool<\/a>) is reporting this rumor again and this time it sounds like it is a little closer to being reality.<\/p>\n

We have it from a fairly iron-clad source (a member of the Skyfall<\/strong> team) that there\u2019s going to be a fairly momentous death in the next Bond film.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve just filmed M’s death scene. Judi Dench is leaving the franchise.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This would definitely be a strong creative choice for a franchise that historically hasn’t taken too many detours from its established formula that would have a lasting impact on the series. In fact, outside of 2006’s reboot with Casino Royale<\/strong>, I think the only Bond film that really had a dramatic moment that impacted on the character in the long run was 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service<\/strong> with the death of Bond’s hours-old bride Tracey. And that was more due to the source material of Ian Flemming’s original novel than it was a creative choice on the part of producers.<\/p>\n

Given that Dame Judi Dench has had some reported health problems, this would give her an exit from the series that provides an in-story explanation for the change in actors in the role.<\/p>\n

Skyfall<\/strong> hits theaters this November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
