While Bond is no stranger to the location, (having previously visited it in From Russia With Love and Moonraker) Venice will this time be featured in several climactic scenes. The 007 Stage was most recently used for recreating some of the shots of the Venice scene for the climax of the film.

According to Executive Producer Anthony Waye, ‘it does take some getting used to, where all your equipment is moored on barges or wheeled in small barrows through the city.’

Daniel Craig On Casino Royale And His Future As Bond

A brand new Casino Royale article has appeared online at News Of The World.

Contains spoilers

New James Bond star Daniel Craig speaks about getting physically prepared for the role, some of the negative press, working with Eva Green, his future as 007, and much more.

‘I wanted to look like Bond could kill somebody. I’m not trying to be extra tough, but I wanted to look physically big. I got a personal trainer. I wanted to bulk up quickly so I did a lot of weights and had a high-protein diet,’ says Craig.

And what about the action scenes? ‘…I had four stunt doubles and they were dealing with injuries all the time. All of it was very physically demanding. I could say now that I would go back and do it again, now that my body’s recovered.’

As to what the future holds for Craig as James Bond, he simply replied ‘I’ve signed up for two more, and then I can get on with my life!’ Needless to say, anything can happen this early on.

Craig explains how Bond is affected after meeting Vesper Lynd in the film: ‘He gets his heart broken because he gets double crossed. It creates this person who is no longer emotional, but is actually going to go out for revenge.’

Lastly, what films does he choose when asked his favourite of the series? ‘When I went to the cinema for the first time it was Roger Moore’s Live And Let Die, which was a fantastic movie. But Sean Connery defined the role and one of my favourite movies is From Russia With Love.
