You mention that it is kind of dangerous for an actress to take one of these Bond roles. Were you surprised about that? Were you wondering if they were wasting your time?Įva Green: Yeah, you would think, ‘Oh, they just want another actress in case, whatever.’ But, when I met Daniel and the producers the first time, in Prague, they were really looking for somebody and they were very interested I would say. I had to sign a pre-contract beforehand and I got the part a week after.

I was in New York and they called me and asked me, ‘Can you please go to Prague straight away?’ And do it again, because your English is not that perfect and blah, blah, blah.’ Y’know there is always like a pretext and I had to do a formal audition in costume on the set with Daniel. Did one screen test and they were not completely happy of course. Then I went to Prague and did the screen test. So, I don’t know what happened, but they didn’t find Vesper and they sent me the script. And I didn’t want to go, because the Bond girl role is kind of dangerous for an actress I must say. He was very lovely, very patient and really connecting with me when we did the screen test unlike other actors you’d get.Įva Green: They asked me to come and audition a year and a half ago in London and I didn’t want to. And he was there, he’d had a party the night before and he was very, very blonde like a Steve McQueen. I was really focused on the thing and stressed out. I flew to Prague I did a bit of an audition. When you see him onscreen he’s always very intense and still, very much like a man.Įva Green: No, actually. When you were cast with this role were you familiar with Daniel Craig’s work?Įva Green: The first time I’d seen him was in ‘Sylvia.’ Then I saw ‘Enduring Love’ and ‘Munich.’ I haven’t seen ‘Layer Cake’ yet.

In speaking with, Green goes over her role, working with Daniel Craig, and the media’s treatment of the film prior to its release. In “Casino Royale”, Green plays Vesper Lynd, the love interest and new Bond girl to Daniel Craig.

Having made a lasting impressing in “The Dreamers”, she then captured the attention of Ridley Scott, who cast her in last year’s Kingdom of Heaven”, opposite Orlando Bloom. In casting Eva Green, they have found someone who’s beautiful, smart, and saavy. Since the producers have decided to reboot the series starting with remake of “Casino Royale”, they needed to find someone who not only could match up a new Bond, but the part of the reason he became the man who we would know. After Halle Berry measured up to Pierce Brosnan in the last James Bond film, how you come back with a new Bond.
