James Bond Chases Gravity-Defying Terrorist, Shows Human Side In New
Film
'Casino Royale' currently being shot in Bahamas, slated for November 17
release.
Daniel Craig as James Bond in "Casino Royale"
NASSAU, Bahamas - In the 44-year, 20-film history of the most
successful movie franchise of all time, fans have watched international
super-spy James Bond kill enough villains to fill a morgue, bed a
stable of beauties that would impress Mick Jagger and get caught up in
more chases than the California Highway Patrol. Right now he's doing it
all again, for the very first time.
Everyone's eyes are squarely focused on newly crowned action icon
Daniel Craig as he reinvents 007 here among the relentless sun and
lapping waves of the "Casino Royale" set. And don't think he doesn't
know it.
"People feel very strongly about it, and I don't blame them," Craig,
casually dressed in a sweater and khakis, said Wednesday during a break
from filming. "There are a lot of people out there who Bond means a
great deal to. It means a great deal to me too."
Ever since the "Royale" shoot began here just over a month ago, rumors
of un-Bond-ly aversions to guns, stick shifts and even the sun have
constantly hounded the 37-year-old "Munich" actor. Laughing off such
tales, Craig insisted that he never reads Internet chatter because it
will only "drive you crazy."
"My aim is to sort of put as much of myself, as much of my energy, and
as much of my talent as it stands into this movie," he said
enthusiastically. "To make the best movie, and therefore to make the
best Bond movie, that I can."
On Tuesday and Wednesday Craig attempted to make that best Bond movie
while filming the spy's first-ever 007 mission (see "British Actor
Daniel Craig Steps Into James Bond's Tux"). Arriving in a decrepit
shantytown in Madagascar, Bond and an MI6 associate are on the trail of
a terrorist named Mollaka, played by gravity-defying extreme-sport
"free-runner" S=E9bastian Foucan (currently dropping jaws in Madonna's
"Hung Up" video). When they discover him standing with a crowd
encircling a dried-out swimming pool, Mollaka's gaze shifts from the
snake-versus-ferret death match to Bond's associate, whose overzealous
use of his earpiece leads to his undoing. When Mollaka takes off on
foot, Bond jumps down from his perch atop a dilapidated hotel roof,
chasing after the fleet-footed, backpacked man. Just don't expect Bond
to take the guy out with his rocket-firing cigarette.
"There aren't many gadgets," Craig explained of the rawness that
director Martin Campbell is attempting to return to the franchise.
"It's because we're starting in the beginning. They aren't there yet."
Without his high-tech gizmos, Craig's agent attempts to keep up with
the terrorist as he darts through the woods. The gymnast-like villain
effortlessly glides over a fallen tree at shoulder height; Bond
improvises a bit by running up the back of a rusted car, jumping onto
the tree, and then resuming the footrace.
Mollaka then tries to lose his pursuer by scrambling into an enormous
construction site, as Bond jumps behind the wheel of a front-loader
dump truck, crashing through a small office while attempting to run his
target over. Mollaka quickly scampers up a support beam onto the first
floor of the would-be building, while a relentless Bond rams his truck
into the building. Eventually the chase leads to a high-tension moment
on a pair of cranes far above the site, leading to a frantic phone call
Mollaka is able to complete moments before he runs into an embassy and
begs for his life over Bond's protests.
"He's an assassin," Craig said plainly of the Mollaka pursuit, Bond's
first assignment after his appointment as a 00 agent. In order to
attain the two zeros and the license to kill that comes with them, Bond
commits two professional assassinations in quick succession and is then
sent after Mollaka. "He has to prove that he can do it, so if he
doesn't manage it or do it properly, then he doesn't get his 00 credits
and he'd have to go back to being a commander in the navy."
" 'Casino Royale' is the first Bond novel that Ian Fleming ever wrote,"
explained Eva Green, the recently cast Bond babe who views the "Batman
Begins"-like reimagining of the franchise as a chance to avoid
continuity trappings while glimpsing the events that formed Bond (see
"New James Bond Has A New Bond Girl: Eva Green").
"She's the first Bond girl," the "Kingdom of Heaven" actress with the
piercing green eyes boasted. "She's the root of all the Bond girls, and
she is quite complex and she's the one that gets Bond's heart, which is
quite unusual. You will see a very human side of Bond in this movie."
Green has yet to shoot a single frame of the movie but insisted that
she's put a great amount of thought into her portrayal of Vesper Lynd,
a beguiling agent assigned by M (Judi Dench) to oversee 007. After
Mollaka's phone puts them on a trail that leads to terrorist banker Le
Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), Bond and Vesper braving danger and torture
together. Their rivalry leads to several showdowns at the poker tables
of Bahaman casinos, including the real-life Atlantis resort and the
luxurious One and Only Ocean Club.
This being a Bond movie, however, there has to be more than one piece
of eye candy in the picture. Enter former Miss Italy contestant
Caterina Murino as Solange, the defiant girlfriend of Dimitrios (Simon
Abkarian), part of the same terrorist cell as Mollaka and Le Chiffre.
"Tougher" is how Murino described Craig's Bond versus the versions
created by his predecessors. "A real killer, not just an elegant and
sexy man ... he can be a very good killer and can be a very good
lover."
Craig and Murino have already filmed the scene in which he first spots
her, as the skimpy-green-bikini-clad sexpot strolls with her horse
along a sandy beach. They've also filmed a steamy love scene, Daniel
Craig's first roll in the sheets as the tuxedoed lothario.
"It felt very, very good. Danny is a great actor and I was comfortable
with it," the brunette purred. "Very sexy. He has a great, huge body.
He's very sexy, I think the sexiest in James Bond's history."
"It's going to have elements that you need in Bond movies," insisted
Daniel Craig, who will shoot in the Bahamas for a few more weeks, then
move to Prague and Venice before heading to London to put the finishing
touches on the November 17 release. "I don't think it's going to be
like any of [the other Bond flicks]. It's just not. ...When I was
growing up it was a big thing to go and see the next Bond movie ...
it's escapism, good escapism, and that's what this movie is gonna be."
