It was one of the rumours for Skyfall that turned out to be untrue. It'll probably be recycled for the next one, and the one after that.
In interviews for Oz maybe she was saying how lucky she was to have Craig and how she would love to be in a Bond movie.

She is too old to be a Bond Girl, a villainess maybe..... I don't think it would go over big with the fans.

Babs would never go for it. Why you ask... Because if Weisz was on set Babs can't flirt.
Rest in Peace

Good points on the age thing, and Babs not being able to flirt.Plus, Babs would get called out on casting Mrs. Cregg and they'd have her bang to rights(heh heh..I said "Bang".) :mrgreen:

This was posted on the official 007 Facebook page a few days ago. I kept meaning to post it here and then forgetting.

fan uncovers M’s real name from Skyfall scene

Post by Goldeneye »

http://metro.co.uk/2013/05/07/james-bon ... e-3714729/
Mystery has long surrounded 007’s mentor, known only by her codename M, but her real name has been unveiled as Olivia Mansfield.
A fan freeze-framed a single camera shot in Skyfall, lasting just a split-second, during a scene where Bond (Daniel Craig) is given a box containing a Royal Doulton bulldog draped in a British flag, which usually sits on M’s (Judi Dench) desk.
Blogger Phil Noble Jr spotted the name while watching Skyfall.

Blogger Phil Noble Jr zoomed in to find the words ‘From the Estate of Olivia Mansfield Bequeathed to James Bond’ on the box’s inscription.

Meg Simmons, archive director for Bond production company Eon, said: ‘We’ve searched around and as far as we can see this is the first and only time anyone’s ever revealed M’s real name.

‘It may not have been spoken, but if you were watching on a big enough screen it could have been visible, so we’d argue it’s now canon.’

The discovery has sparked speculation among other Bond fans that M’s codename could be a tribute to Mansfield Smith-Cumming, the first head of MI6, who signed letters with the letter C.

Pretty sure this isn't news, and that it was reported a while back, shortly after the DVD release. Does this mean that Olivia Mansfield is the rebooted M, while Barbara Mawdesley was Brosnan's M?

Forgive me for not posting a link to this story, but I tried copying and pasting the URL, and it ended up crashing my phone. Anyway, Yahoo News has a story that Christopher Nolan is "in informal talks" to direct the next Bond film. The source was Baz Bamigboye, which at one time would make me dismiss it instantly, but he was mostly right about Skyfall. However, "informal talks" ain't worth a hill of beans, so it's still best to wait for an official announcement.

Edit: Given that Nolan is producing Man of Steel, and tends to reuse the same actors, I reckon these talks, if they come to anything, represent the best chance of getting Cavill in as Bond. Surely EON would even throw Lady Broccoli's Lover under the bus if it meant a Nolan Bond film?

Cr-egg is signed for 2 more films though, unless they tell him to get lost after Bond 24.

He described it "a contract I can wipe my arse on if I want". I suspect that if Nolan were to make it a condition of directing the next film that he gets to choose his own Bond, Egg's contract would be renegotiated faster than you could say "Had a great fall". Of course there are an awful lot of ifs in that scenario, but I think it's within the bounds of possibility nonetheless.

It's possible. Especially with a big name like Nolan who said he want to do his own bond / new actor and crew but he id probably in love with Craig :roll:

I don't think so. He can't come right out and say it, of course, but I get the distinct impression from comments he's made in the past that he's not a big fan of Craig.

I do too but at this point I wouldn't bet against Craig coming back although as it was pointed out before everyone thought Brosnan would be back for bond 21 / cr. and I could see a power house like nolan who if he did it would be devoting maybe a decade if he makes more than one film wanting his choice of star, I don't think he'll work like other directors have for bond under the thumb of Barbara and MGW, maybe Craig gas told them he's done because he doesn't like Logan's script or he thinks he done because he linked his bond to dr no.

I don't see Nolan coming on board for one film and I don't think he work for free hell get a huge cut of the profit as he does for everything else he does. It'd be a ton of firsts for eon and bond.

If Craig makes Bond 24 he will be nearly as old as Brosnan was in DAD , and all the Craig fans said Brosnan was far too old in DAD. So if Nolan does make the next Bond film then it is the perfect time for a new Bond actor and a reboot.

The attached article says Nolan "is said to be a fan of Craig's work." Do you have anything you could link to that supports your "distinct impression"?
