Yet the United Kingdom had been involved in the whole IRA - Northern Ireland squabble, which as far as we know ended decades ago, yet there's still some bad feelings and sentiments between the Catholics and Protestants of the region...
I was thinking that perhaps bringing an Irishman such as Neeson in as 'M' would be interesting because he's such a gifted actor -- but he'd have to lose the accent.
Others might think that it would a 'slap in the face' to MI6...
Maybe he could be the next villain?? ;-)
I would like to see Charles Dance in the next Bond movie.
M is not the head of Mi6, only the 00 section. I have doubts and misgivings that Bond even works for MI6 in the Flemings books as claimed by some fanboys, but they refuse to listen to reason. It has been branded by the producers that Bond works for Mi6 in the movies starting with Brosnan Bond.
