  1. Casino Royale Video Interviews: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, & Caterina Murino

    By Devin Zydel on 2006-10-02

    CBn forum member Cody has pointed out a few Casino Royale video interviews that may have gone unnoticed by some James Bond fans on MTV Overdrive. Featured are interviews–taken in much earlier stages of the 007 film shoot–with Daniel Craig, Eva Green, and Caterina Murino.

    To access both videos, ‘A Human Bond’ and ‘More Than Just A Bond Girl,’ click on this link. Both videos will eventually play after the annoying ads.

    While describing their (then current) work in the Bahamas, Craig said: ‘On a movie of this scale, it’s important to get the locations right… the Bahamas has provided us with fantastic locations and beautiful settings… and then we had to get back into the grind and get back into the studio. That’s part of the process.’

    ‘They [Bond and Vesper Lynd] constantly spar with one another verbally, and there’s always this boxing game between them; very competitive,’ says Eva Green. ‘I think this is very sexy and old-fashioned in a nice way…’

    The second video, ‘More Than Just A Bond Girl,’ focuses on Caterina Murino, who plays the character of Solange. ‘For me, to be here on a huge movie with Judi Dench and Daniel Craig, it’s like a dream…’

  4. No Smoking For Daniel Craig In Casino Royale

    By Devin Zydel on 2006-09-30

    A new interview with Daniel Craig has appeared online at Parade.com. The topic? ‘Can the New James Bond Measure Up?’

    Upon first seeing the script for Casino Royale, Craig had said: ‘I wanted to hate it, but of course it was fantastic. So we talked, and I said [to the producers], “I’ll only do it if you involve me on every level.”‘

    ‘I want the audience to question what Bond’s doing [in Casino Royale],’ says Craig. ‘I want them to ask about the killing: “Is that right?” We’re in 2007 nearly, and it’s a different world. Relationships are more complicated. We can’t brush them aside. We can’t brush violence aside. We can’t brush intent or responsibility or outcome aside.’

    And while there wasn’t any smoking by Pierce Brosnan in his first three Bond films, he did eventually light up in Die Another Day. Not the case this time according to Craig. ‘I can blow off someone’s head at close range and splatter blood, but I can’t light a good Cuban.’

    According to this article on People, the new James Bond actor speaks about his relationship with producer Satsuki Mitchell, but also mentions some bits about working on Casino Royale.

    ‘Maybe I’m not the prettiest Bond that’s ever been, and maybe I’m not the suavest. All I can say is there are millions of fans, and I don’t want to let them down. I’ve worked my butt off for this movie. I’m not going to foul it up.’

    ‘I got a lot of work quite young, but nothing that you’d call success. The experiences I’ve gained made me a happier person. If I had been successful when I was younger, I would have blown it.’
