Daniel Craig is the blonde Bond.
Now that we finally know who the next Bond will be
in the upcoming film Casino Royale, I guess it was only a matter of time
before director Martin Campbell [directed the return of Bond in GoldenEye]
would start revealing some plot details for the film. And what details they
are! This film is like the Batman
Begins of Bond, but without the leather and the cape.
All joking aside, Casino Royale will introduce us to a few of Bond's
most intimate secrets.

Today was able to catch up to Martin Campbell who is currently
out promoting his upcoming film The
Legend of Zorro. Like most moviegoers, Campbell admits
that he is ready to put down the sword and pick up the spy saga all over
again.
Casino Royale, which begins
filming in January with newly named Bond Daniel Craig, will be the first
of the 007 movies to reveal the hero's origins, director Martin Campbell
says.
"We're going toward a much more realistic Bond, much more From Russia
with Love than we've had in the past," says Martin, who also directed
1995's GoldenEye with former Bond Pierce Brosnan.
"He has to mount a card game in order to win
the money back. Bond is sent in to make sure he doesn't win," Campbell says.
The 2006 version of Casino Royale eliminates the Cold War setting.
Bond is teamed with female agent Vesper Lynd, who later helps him recover after he is brutally tortured.
"She's the one who forges him into the Bond that we all know and love," Campbell says. "He certainly falls in love with her, and it does change him forever. It's a genuinely deeper relationship. The film deals much more on a personal level with Bond."
The reason the hero treats subsequent love interests as one-night stands also will be revealed.
Men, take your notepads to the theatres if you
want to take some pointers from the new playboy.
