Movie News: THE NEW 'Q'!

There's no denying that the new Bond movie 'Skyfall' has pulled together an impressive cast. Alongside regulars, Daniel Craig and Dame Judi Dench are; Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Naomi Harris. They will also be joined by young British actor Ben Whishaw, although we had no idea idea which character he's be playing.

Well, it has now been officially confirmed that he will be playing 'Q', master of all things gadgety. This will make him the youngest 'Q' ever in the Bond series by about seventy years!

Some hardcore Bond fans may not like it, but I think it's a great idea to reinvent the character in this way. Also, anyone who's seen 'Perfume', 'The Hour' or 'Criminal Justice' will know what a fantastic actor Ben is. I cannot wait to see what he does with the role and I have more than enough confidence when Sam Mendes is sitting in the director's chair.

What do you guys think? Is it a good idea?
