OIL FIELDS
(QUANTUM OF SOLACE, 2008)Wilson:“This was obviously
aGoldfingerreference but in
oil. We like to reference our
earlier films when we can.
The Bond fans love it. It’s a
tongue-in-cheek reference.”
Broccoli:“We loved Gemma
[Arterton]. She had just
finished drama school and
she was the first person we
met for Strawberry Fields
and we cast her on the spot.
She is a remarkable actress.
She threw herself into this role
and did everything.”WET WORK
(CASINO ROYALE, 2006)Wilson:“Weren’t we lucky
with Eva Green? To get her for
the first movie with Daniel.”
Broccoli:“We had to convince
her because she wasn’t
interested at all. So there was a
long process of trying to get her
to read the script. But there is
no-one else who could play that
role. She looks like Vesper. She
isVesper! Once she read the
script, she wanted to come in.”
Wilson:“For this shot we were
in a tank on the 007 stage. We
had a set that went up and
down so they had been worried
about putting an actress down
there. She’d be in the water
acting and at a certain point
they’d drop this little oxygen
pipe down and she’d suck on it.
And she’d go back and do it
again. She was unbelievable.
When you look at that scene,
the acting she does while she is
drowning is amazing. She is
gulping for air to try and drown
herself. That is terrifying to do
in real life. I don’t know how
many actresses could have
done that.”❯CASINO ROYALE © 2006 Danjaq, LLC and United Artists Corporation. All rights reserved. QUANTUM OF SOLACE © 2008 Danjaq, LLC and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.
