He’s going to become the Bond that we know, and that makes it interesting,” said Eva Green about her character.Ĭasino Royale informed new beginnings on the Bond franchise, from a revised Bond, both physical and sensitive, to the refashion of another key element, the Bond girl, who is becoming more and more an equal to Bond. She’s the first Bond girl written by Ian Flemming, different from all the others: “she’s the only woman that Bond falls in love with, and she shapes him and she’s going to have a great impact on his life. Eva Green was perfect for playing the complex character of enigmatic and seductive beauty Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale (she won the BAFTA Rising Star Award for her role) opposite Daniel Craig. So I’ve decided to celebrate Bond’s style here in the journal as well, starting with a Bond girl, the best and certainly the most stylish one in my opinion. I don’t know about you, but I, regardless of many disappointments, am looking forward to every new Bond movie.
Fifty years ago this October, James Bond began to make movie history.
