Casino Royale - Bahamas Interviews (2)
15th March 2006
Principal cast members spoke to Moviefone
on the set in the Bahamas about their roles in the forthcoming
film "Casino Royale", including new James Bond
007 Daniel Craig, and the latest Bond girls Eva Green (Vesper
Lynd) and Caterina Murino (Solange). Click

Daniel Craig on the subject of Bond's character in the
film: "Casino Royale, being the first of the books,
he's got rough edges - that's for sure. And as the film
progresses, we see him become the man that we know, love,
and hate.
Because we're starting at the beginning, we're given a
bit more sway with it. We can tell the story from the beginning,
and we can try to understand the man who is James Bond.
He falls in love, and other things happen along the way.
We find someone who gets kinda hurt."
New Bond girls Eva Green and Caterina Murino were asked
what they thought Craig would bring to the role. "I
think he will bring his own talent, and he's a very rare
actor, very special", said Green.
"You will see a great Bond. He's giving to Bond...
something else, a different "colour" that we've
never seen before. He's not only a lover, and elegant, and
smiling, he can be very rude. He can be a very bad man",
added Murino.

Eva Green explained how her character Vesper Lynd will be different
than the typical Bond Girl: "She's an enigma. She's very
mysterious. You can't really see through her." Green said,
"She's also the first Bond girl ever written by Ian Fleming,
and she's quite different. She doesn't really play on her sexuality.
She's very sensual, but they have this relationship which is verbal,
they are like boxing partners. Its quite an unusual relationship.
I'm shooting this week for the first time on the film, and we'll
be naked in the scene!"

Whilst Green is just starting her scenes, Murino is almost finished.
She explained, "I'm also done all my scenes. There's only
one left, when I'm going to ride my white horse. I hope it's going
to be a beautiful scene with my beautiful white horse. I'm riding
the horse every day here! So hopefully it's going to be good for
the scene."
Sebastien Foucan plays Mollaka in the first major action piece
in the film. Foucan said of his role, "In this movie my character
is chased by Bond, and I use my heart to escape. Freerunning is
about using the environment. It's about how you move, climbing,
rolling, everything. For me, it's an art. It's something very
natural for me. Most of the work for me has been about the acting,
about fighting, about being precise, to be in front of the camera."

How do the cast feel about shooting on location in the
Bahamas? Green was enthusiastic, "Shooting in the Bahamas...
The sea is beautiful, the weather's very warm. Then we're
going to Prague - it's so romantic, and then Venice. It's
great. I'm spoiled." Murino was also happy, "I'm
very lucky already because I was cast as Solange, and also
because I'm here in the Bahamas. I think it's the best location
to have Bond in this film."
Craig explained how the location will fit in to the film,
"The Bahamas - it's about waking up to the sun and
the sea. I've done some scenes with Judi Dench which have
been fantastic. For this section of the film we're using
the Bahamas for Madagascar, it's a big piece at the beginning
of the movie.
