Casino Royale Red Carpet Quotes
25th November 2006
"The key challenge to introducing a new Bond
is to find the right person - and convincing the public that
you've made the right choice. The actors that play Bond all have
their own personality, they bring a bit of themselves to the
part. What you're trying to
do is write the script to accentuate those characteristics. That's
the next challenge - what do we do with the next Bond film. We're
thinking about continuing with the story, but we'll
have to wait see. Moneypenny and Q will return, or not, depending
on the requirements of the storyline." - Producer Michael G. Wilson

"I chose to play Solange because I'm always
making dramas, always crying and suffering - and for once I said
to myself, I'm just going to have some fun. When I got the role,
I was shooting an Italian movie - dressed up like a man in the
middle of a duel - and none of the crew
believed me. They were saying, 'but Bond girls are meant to be
beautiful and glamorous!' I can't say that I was a huge fan of
Bond when I was younger because he was a little bit chauvinist"

"Le Chiffre is a very cold man, very cynical
- he doesn't like to be out in the broad daylight, he would rather
hide in the shadows. I think he's an interesting character. It
would have been fun in the '70s to play a megalomaniac, but in
this
film, I don't think it would have worked. It was so ridiculous,
when the press were going on about Daniel Craig being blond,
it was hard to take it seriously. The only
thing he could do was focus on the work - everybody knew he was
going to be a fantastic Bond." - Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre)

" I didn't have to really think twice when they
offered me the part. I just think it's a fantastic love story.
It's a very intriguing part, very mysterious. She shapes Bond
- and
his relationships with other women. I wouldn't have done
a bimbo role, that's not really my aim as an actress. Bond here
is like the Queen - it's very important. I grew up with Bond.
I always thought he was a very cool character, and
very funny. I loved Sean Connery - but I was not a Bond fan." -
Eva Green (Vesper Lynd)

"The book goes back to the basics, so the action
needed to too. Daniel brings a kind of dark quality to Bond,
he's slightly dangerous. Connery had it in the early Bonds and
I think Daniel has reinstated that into the character. When Pierce
Brosnan moved into Goldeneye, the character was very set - he
was a variation on what we had had before. Daniel
has to start right back at base and bring all these human levels
into Bond that have not been seen before. I got very astute at
being able to see it and make sure the product placement was
done more
discreetly. But it won't go unnoticed
that every terrorist in the world has a Sony Ericsson phone." -

"It was important for me to discover who this guy was. By starting
at the beginning, as we do with Casino Royale - we were able
to do that. I just wanted to make sure that we were seeing a character
go through some change within the movie. I started doing it, and
nobody said stop - so I just carried on. I'm very excited about
the idea of going on and doing another movie. That was always
the aim, to set something up so that we could continue the series."
- Daniel Craig (James Bond)
